Cas knows someone who knows someone, that someone gave him a significant discount, so he can get out and ride - while he saves up for another gnar-machine.
A new Orange 5 29inch is out (maybe old new but i noticed it on FB today) looks quite nice.

Same colour pedals here I think 
spend some time going at the pins with some thread lock.

Why do yours come loose, mine are all still in place and tight, all though all the colour from the pins has wore off.

I was recommended to do it when I got them but I've still lost 2 pins and others have become loose.

you'll be finished before me
Honestly - never had so many hassles building a bike ever! One thing after another.
Frame takes 34.9 top pull front mech, remove 34.9 top pull front mech from old bike. Place on new frame - doesn't fit
Check again - checked size, check frame details with on-one - still doesn't fit
Honestly!! Spoke to another guy who has same frame and he had same issues - despite on-one insisting that it fits.He suggested getting a conventional top mech and the work fine for him. Been cabling up and new brake cables tonight as none of the old ones fitted the new frame!

has to be this color too!
Apple Green is the best colour they do, they usually offer it as a free upgrade after you return your cracked frame under warranty !

What frame did you get from On-one ?
Mine wasn't without issue either, Titus El Guapo V2 with Shallow headtube bore !
Its fine with an On-One Slackset in it, although if i find the time i'll take it back and get them to bore it out incase i want a different headset in the future.
it's the front derailleur that I am/was having issues with - however I appear to have semi solved it. will get back to it again tonight
Front mech's are for pussy'swhining about a front mech
Does anyone want a pair of Avid Juicy 7 brakes? I've eventually found them, got spares and new pads too if interested.
