Great work, the link is dead.

check a few posts in for the link to the google cached version of the page. Or search it yourself. The page was taken down quite quickly.

the klein thing must be a wind up?

the klein thing must be a wind up?

I think they must have said "Kirk copy"

I remember a thread about this Fat Chancer thing about 6 weeks ago- everyone said it was a wind up.

Look out Klein fans, the shonkmeisters are coming to devalue your bikes!

Speaking to one of the On One guys at Mayhem with Mr Sinnett and he also said they were toying with the idea of a Klein copy too.

Following on from mr_ships comments, I got the impression that the ball was well and truely rolling with both the Fat Chancer and Klein projects and they should be available later in the year. I told them they were barking up the wrong retro tree as both are tonk and e-stays are the future. Not sure I was taken too seriously though, maybe they'll go in the triple triangle direction instead!

Why don't they just do an On One Charlatan and be done with it?

Have you seen their new forks? the big on-one inch forks?

 

[ededwards]

To be fair, their forks have always been five piece segmented (even if initially rim brake only) with the rake created by canting the crown forward in a 'v' (not very well explained) rather than as seen on the Yo or BOI fork.

At least they called them 'Superlight' (oh, the irony) rather than BOI or similar.

Damn. I was trying to get a rise out of someone. <back to work then>.

Don't forget the Dekerfesque rear stays!
