I couldn't turn down a road bike with Columbus tubing, but the chro-mo On-One is a decent bike, especially for the reduced price the frame is going for now (£99.99) your carbon fork added will make it much better from road buzz and weight.

There's a review on it here, plus a pic below from somebodies build with a carbon fork.

I have mine built over the next couple of weeks though so can't vouch for the ride itself yet, but from speculation, I'd say it's great value for money like all PX/On-One products.

Yeah that frame looks really good but in the size I want it's showing as no stock
I need the large size

I'm 5ft 11" and have gotten away with a 51cm Medium. I slid on some 27" wheels and sat on the bike when it arrived to see how I fit, not cramped and enough room for me, just a longer stem and higher seatpost, and you should be fine.

Can u do me a favour and measure the top tube for me I'm using a medium Boardman ss/fixed and it's just a wee bit too small when I'm out of the saddle ( I'm 6'0 so not too diff from u ) though my geared bike ( which is an old stly frame ) has a 58 cm top tube and the Boardman is 54 so thinking of the large

Damn, it's at the shop being built at the moment and I don't get it back until next week. Not sure what size he's got but you could ask Dave if you need to know pronto.

Sorry about that!

FWIW I'm 6'2" with long legs and arms for my height and the XL fits me well.
