On-One 456 Build Project
Hello everyone,
Fall is here and so a new project.
I stumbled upon an original 456 size L in the German classifieds and after some research decided to buy it. Luckily On-One still sells the original steel rigid forks, so I also picked one of those up. The fork comes in tomorrow and the frame is waiting in Germany.
My plan is to send both to my preferred metal-work company who will strip polish and copper plate the both. To be honest though I am holding off on this decision until I see the frame. I kinda like the brown. At the same time, tarnished copper is also brown so I am leaning that way. I think the tarnished look in the seams and hard-to-get-to places will be nice, with the tubes being regularly hand polished.
Frame: On-One 456 size L
Fork: On-One rigid steel
Paint: TBD
Rims: China carbon 26", 30mm inner-width, hookless disc
Hubs: White Industries XMR black
Shifter: 12 speed XTR
RD: 12 speed XTR
Crankset: Shimano GRX FC-RX810-1 42t
Cassette: SRAM Eagle 10-50 or XTR 10-51
Brakes: Magura MT 5 or MT Trail Sport
For the first time I am deciding to try an 1x groupset. Comparing the gearing between my current 2x10 groupset, the 1x12 looks actually really good:
As this will be my first 1x set-up I am wondering if the big steps between gears will bother me at all. I don't think so.
Anyway, I think the geometry of the 456 will do a decent job as an XC machine with it's 69.5° head-tube angle.

The frame and fork were received by the metal-work company last week. Turn around should be 8 weeks.

Hello, for anyone that is interested, the build is finished and can be seen here. I didn't want to double post.
Best regards,
Christian

What the build sheet on this? Is the fork an OnOne?

On-One 456 (original) size L
On-One CrMo fork (440 atc, QR)
Custom made wheels: WI XMR hubs with a Shimano MS freehub, a mix of sapim cx-ray (F+R) and race (R DS only), brass sapim polyax nipples and 35mm IW hookless carbon rims
Non-theft steel QR's
Shimano XT 12 speed group, 10-51
Rotor Kapic crankset with a 40t chainring that just barely clears the chainstay
Rotor BSA30 BB with enduro bearings removed and NTN 6806JR-LLB installed (bee's knees)
Magura MT 5 brakes w/ 1 finger levers
Hope Floating 180mm rotors F+R
Titanium rotor bolts
Wolftooth headset w/ spacers
Ritchey comp stem
EC90 bars (Chinese)
ODI grips
Thomson elite SP
Selle Italia Tekno SLR that I sanded down (still waiting on black silicone which I will epoxy to the topside in order to prevent slipping)
Schwalbe Thunder Burt Snakeskin TL tires
Tubolight tire inserts (so I can run 0.75 bar without burping)
Thought about artificially accelerating the patina process but want to keep it natural so she's sitting out on my balcony right now.

That thing is WAY cool. I love your drivetrain choice and the rigid fork. What kind of riding do you do?

I really like the fork too and was very happy to see that On-One (Planet-X) still produce them.

New pics are up. Since making them, I have removed the rear mud guard and added a RackTime Light-it 2.0 slender luggage rack with occasional Yves 2.0 pack. Together, they're lighter than my backpack and one hell of a lot more comfortable.

I have to correct myself here; this bike is very fun to ride and it can climb as well as the rider's legs can. I did a 60 miler the other week with over a mile of ascent and it was a dream the whole way. Thunder Burt's would help but those are no longer available. The Race King's are heavier but yes, they also grip better on hard-pack.
The White Industries hubs are as always, killer. And the NTN BB bearings also help to make things smooth as butter.
All said, this is one heck of a bike that is very enjoyable to ride.
Note: I cleaned it for the first time before taking the photos. Prior to that it hadn't even seen a hose down. I try to keep it looking like a beater so that nobody with bad intentions will give it a second look.
