Who has ridden an on one? are they that good or are they really a load of crap?

I am thinking of buying one, but have a nagging doubt that they are really shiite, and no one wants to admit that they are, in case they get picked on by all the cool kids. A modern case of the emperors new clothes.

How do you tell ?

'Arry bought one after riding mine. He left me on his bike and refused togive mine back.

Mike has it right though, very good for the price, but there are better out there.

I really like how mine rides - yes, something like the Cove Handjob is better but more than double the price.

Decided to build mine after about 10 minutes on someone elses but there lies the problem - it's almost impossible to test one unless you know someone with one already or live somewhere near Doncaster.

'Twas funny though, right up to the point you got lost

It was 'Arrys fault, he had his gloves off to moisturise his hands.

I have never been so pleased to own a GPS as that day. The thought of getting lost and spending the night in prime midlands dogging territory doesnt bear thinking about.

It was 'Arrys fault - Indeed *shudders*

Anyways, I have 2 On-Ones, an ordinary S/S and an 853 geared, and can't really say a bad word about them. Almost bought a Cove Handjob but Brant found the 853 in a cupboard in the Doncaster warehouse (2 weeks after telling me there would be no more 853 gearable Inbreds built) which was £150 cheaper.

They are as cheap as chips BUT ride as well as/ better than bikes twice/three times the price. I believe that is what Brant set out to do.

I've got an In-Bred and running it as a SS.  In my mind it's bloody brilliant, the best bike I've had since a '95 Kona Cindercone - handles ups and downs really well.
