Just saw that On One is coming out with a new gravel bike/frame, it looks interesting. Short chainstays. Rack mounts. Cannot accept a front derailleur. It has routing for a stealth dropper post. Kind of a questionable design in that it fits 700x 38 or 650b x 47 tires. That excludes a lot of tires in both sizes. I suppose it will fit the WTB Horizon which is a plus. But then again, a lot of frames specced at 38c can fit 40s just fine.
That seems dubious about the wheel sizing

\nI been tracking this bike for awhile, it was on my short list to see what it comes out as.

\nThat video shows it clearly rocking WTB Nanos, and I'd bet those are the 40's as well.

\nThat video shows it with Horizons with a lot of room, I think we could squeeze the knobby Terrene Elwoods in there or Compass Switchback Hills in there.

\nIn any case how disappointing, this could have been a legit good 650b bike. But the wheel limitations, max 140 rotors on front and back, and only 1x is a no go for me. It's like $100 more than a van dessel ADD, but less useful than one.
Love the look of this, but no front hanger kills it for me as I'm not going back to 1x chainsets. Seems odd to marginalise your market when its easy to have a removable bracket.
Too bad they went with BSA on the bottom bracket. This is one time a PF shell would be great for an eccentric. Single speed and dropper routing is a thing for some.
