On-One 456 'inbred' (cro-mo) 18” steel frame, fixed carbon fork, Shimano Deore and Mavic wheelset. Hydraulic disc brakes. Built up by Richard @iLovesMyBike.
• Comfortable, fat-tyred bike that suits urban riding, towpaths, gravel and light trails. The ‘456’ was also designed for 100-150mm suspension forks, so you can convert it to a full trail hardtail if you prefer?
• Very light use. It’s been ridden only 5x since it was unboxed in 2018. The brakes were supplied factory-bled and the lever feel is still firm and consistent.
