First, have an unrelated photo of my sister having just ridden up The Snake at Stony Creek, which ends at the top of Mt. Sheldon.
Second, I’ve been considering building up a new, dedicated to mountain biking bike, so that mine can be set up for touring-type stuff. When looking at frames I’ve started to think that the On-One 456 Summer Season (alternate, better photo) would be a nice frame for me, but being sold in the UK it’s a bit hard to get. In response to a message I sent to Brant at On-One asking him how much the frame would cost shipped to the US, he told me:
Right now, LOTS.
Next week – quite possibly LESS.
We’re on the brink of changing the way we sell into the USA. Hang on!
So, this sounds like really good news. I think On-One might actually be getting US distribution. Hopefully the prices for the frames won’t be too much higher than UK prices after going exchange rate, as I think this would make a nice, cheaper frame to build up for just offroad uses.
