F/S On One Fatty 18"

JonDoe · 23-08-2014 6:43am #1

Selling my 3 month old custom built On One Fatty.

The wheels have been drilled and gone tubeless (8 hours that I'll never get back), the tubeless setup has been very dependable no punctures yet and has gone through everything.

The bike is in very good condition, I was doing a bit of coast riding but stayed well out of the salt water. I'm 5'10" and it's a bit big. Wide handlebars are the way to go with these so a shorter top tube is what I need. I reckon if you're even just slightly taller then this should fit.
I'll be getting a size 16" bike.

I'll be giving it the once over later today and replacing anything unsightly or worn.

Here's a link to how the bike was built up.

I'll post some pictures in it's current form as soon as it's been cleaned up.

Asking €800 based in Enniscorthy

Interested in a specialized rockhopper?

Wish I could afford this, LOVE fat bikes!

Would I have met you on the road with the frame loaded with panniers? Passed a guy on a fatty a few months ago who looked like he was touring. I was well jealous!

I'm looking to fund a Surly Pugsley, need one of these in steel so I can mount proper bags for camping. So a swap is out, thanks anyway.

You probably did if it was around the south of county Wexford, that's the only trip I did loaded up. I'm down to a day pack and a bivvy bag slung under the handlebars now. Dublin to Wicklow town is possible all along the beach on one of these, had to walk it across one stream and up a few steps on the Bray to Greystones cliff path. Super day out that.

Bike comes with 2 x spare tubes ( if you ever want to use tubes again), will include spare new brake and gear cables and a new chain ( current chain is fine but will probably need changing in a few months).
€650

Price Drop €600 but doesn't come with tubes or any spares, will be using tubes etc. on my new bike so not available.

Did this sell?

JonDoe · 05-07-2015 6:45pm

Just finished rebuilding it but it's now a 16" frame with carbon forks. Just barely big enough for me 5'10". I am intending to use it but hey, everything is for sale.

Ah ok. Much too small for me. Thanks though.

Is the 18" frame gone?

Gone, but I've a steel fork and some wheels if you're building one up. The sizing is pretty large on these when you consider you'll be going for the widest handlebars imaginable so bare that in mind. The 16" suits me better, I can throw it around even though it still weighs a ton. Think on one are selling frame on it's own for £150 and they've some 100mm Sram x5 cranks for £50, you could use a standard GXP bottom bracket missing it's plastic internal sleeve. BUT if you can afford it get a Surly, much more of a fun bike, the on one fork angle is great for descending but for lifting over and pushing through obstacles is a lot tougher, me thinks.

How did you manage to get the 2 chainrings on the front? Are they both narrow-wide and you switch the chain over manually when you need to climb? Was there any modifications you needed to do to the crank spider

My current rig has a 34t Narrow wide, Find I spin out on the roads going to the trails, and end up suffering a bit on some of the longer climbs. Was considering an expander gear to bring it up from a 36t at the back, or doing what you've done, which is a bit more stealthy

They're both standard rings (I'm using a front mech now), never had a problem losing the chain on the granny ring and just lost it once or twice on the 32tooth. When I'm on my local loop I stick to the small ring, it's quiet steep and technical climbing and coming down I don't need to pedal, just brake. So I just lifted the chain by finger, 32 for flat terrain and 22 for steep, never really was a problem.

Cool, thanks for that info, I don't think my bike will take a front mech, but it has the standard mounts for a chain guide.

I might do your trick and get a 30 and a 40t set of chain rings, I can put the chain onto the small ring then for trails, and have the big one for the roads, I'd like to keep a chainring that I won't end up wanting more gears if i'm making good speed on a descent

The clamp and 100mm should work on anything with a down tube but hey front mechs are nothing more than muck magnets. What I'd really like is a fat bike (any bike) with hammerschmidt cranks and an alfine rear hub, that'd be winter sorted, you could clean the thing with just an oily rag.
The 40t will keep chain on the 30t through rough stuff and then on the roads the 40t is so far out that the chain is not likely to ever slip over, trim the chain just right, adjust the rear mech and it never will.
