ON-ONE Imbred or DMR Trailstar?
Discussion
Looking for a decent steel frame with horizontal dropouts for my single speeder. I ride a bit of everything (don't we all!) but no big jumps. Would maybe do the odd BMX race on it though.
Both the Imbred and Trailstar fit my criteria and I can get either for £160 so which should it be and why?

These are quite differerent frames. The on one is more cruiser/singlespeed XC and the DMR more dirt jump orientated. Unless you got a tiny on one.
I'd say get the on one - they're a small company with a good vibe and try to do the right thing by their customers .... oh and I've got one.
Though for what you want I suspect the DMR will fit the bill better.
They'll both build up to a nice bike.

I don't really know why I started this post because my mind is fairly set on the On-one!
I agree with you on the company vibe point, and I get the impression they are fairly modest about their products so it'll probably hold up to abuse fairly well.
Should also build into a lighter, more compliant bike than the DMR.
Anyhow, I'd still ike to hear what other people think.
) and suspension is for wimps.I built up a DMR for my son because I was fed up of buying shite kids bikes that had toy componentry. It's not the lightest frame for sure, but it's a nice little bike to ride (I got a little 15" frame in a clearance from Chain Reaction - Bargain). Not tried an On-One but cannot report anything bad about the DMR.
Neither.

I've ridden lots of bike frames - these represent the best balance of value, exclusivity, quality, and the most amazing customer service.
Check the reviews on bikemagic, singletrack etc, you'll find the same as what I've just said.
One of my steeds is a Prince Albert - 854 cromo, built up cheap and cheerful, as an all dayer bike, not mega light, but strong as fook, comfortable, handles brilliant, jumps well.
They do a decent range of frames now for differing purposed, Prince albert is the best 'all rounder'.
Never a better value frame will you ride.

They certainly look like nice pieces of kit, but they are a bit pricier than the £160 frames I'm looking at!
