Who Wants Glow in the Dark?
The On-One nuclear scientists spilt a bottle of something special on these frames and now they seem to be glowing in the dark! Actually that's not true. We don't do atomic physics here but we have managed to source some pretty cool paint that is so luminous it would be a nightime safety feature as well as just looking the business. We're also trialling a very nice new track frame- pictured to the right of a hi-vis Pompino in this shot:
High luminousity is a real possibility for future editions of our steel frames, but we have to lobby the powers that be before we can get a batch in! The On-One office geeks are very excited at the prospect but we need your support....
So, if you've had your Readybrek, leave a comment below and let us know why you would love (or hate) a glow in the dark bike!
UPDATE: Luminous frames now available in 456 and 456 Summer Season models at no extra charge! Click here to go to the 456 frame page and here to go to the Summer Season frame page.

How early 2011 for the Maccinato? Looks nice and clean.
Do it! I'm in the market for a pompetamine, for commuting and this really would be the icing on the cake for the perfect commuter! I am holding my breath...
Hi Nick, the mysterious frame in the foreground is the soon to be announced On-One Maccinato fixed track frame. Suspected availability early 2011. Sign up to the newsletter to stay informed...
just curious what frame is that in the foreground???
i need this... glow in the dark track frame pls!
Hey Rob, personally I'd love to do the Pompino and Pompetamine in glow in the dark but we have to trial the 456 and Summer Season first and see how they go. Fingers crossed...
Hi Simon, this particular glow paint is for use on metal only. Depending on the success of the steel 456 luminous frames we may well look into alternative colour options for the carbon Whippet.
are you planning to do the pomp in glow in the dark as well?
Hi, like some others here I would like to know if you will be doing your carbon whippets in luminous colours?
We've done it! Yes, the phenomenal response of this blog along with some serious arm twisting has resulted in us persuading Dave that glow in the dark is a goer! 456's and Summer Season's now available for pre-order at no extra charge! Go to the regular product pages and select the Glow in the Dark colour option....
Hell yes! My current pompino wisn the Steven Spielberg Close Encounters Award for "Closest resemblance to deep sea plankton" on the Dumb Run every year anyway, but add this to the mix and it will be a lifetime achievement award.
Oh yes please !!!!!
Can I have my Whippet in this colour please even if it's extra. Does it have to be steel only? I have visions of doing Mahem or Sleepless on a glow in the dark bike. That would be so cool.
Wow i love that color ;-)
I love it, do it please!!! I might even swap out my current brown Pomp' frame for one!!!
i like it a lot would love it especially on a night ride.a group of friends once rode the garth mountain at night it made headlines in a local rag people thought they had witnessed a series of ufo,s
Nijs! I like it!
Get this paint on the 456SS, or any of the mtb frames, I'll buy one, even if it costs extra. In fact get it on all your steel bikes...
Carbon 456 in this colour would be wicked! DO IT!
Add me to the list! Luminous inbred? oh yes!
Track frame looks nice and clean. Any more details?
toying with idea of pompetamine. this swings it - yes please
I'm in
Haha, love it!!! Would make night rides on a Summer series an absolute hoot! Go on, a SS456 in glow!
je suis fan! i'll take 2!!!
Ok, I thought I had enough Inbreds! Guess I wrong, very Wrong! What models will you be doing in this colour? Ultimate commuter Pompino and would make a spooky Slot dropout for Dusk till Dawn!
Nice and cool for commuting, can we have pink as well? It would match my SL PRO in my Tri team colours(pink n blue)!!!
WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! A pompetamine or a inbred cheeet
+1 for the Inbred !
also.. an important development in cycle vis saftey, those old night glow ankle straps dont cut mustard.
Luminous Inbred please! I will buy one.
Yes! Stevo says we're going to do rims... Yey!
ADD TO BASKET !!!
Tell me you are going to do rims? Say yes... Say Yes!... SAY IT!!!! ... and breathe, and relax ... SAY IT!!!
Love it, Already have enough kids so not worried about nuking my tadpoles.
Luminous bikes ? That'll freak the drivers out at night. I like it !
I like the luminous concept but would opt for a more subtle colour at daylight to mek it really shine when dark. I´d get it as well :-)
Yes please! Just the thing for a long Danish winter...
I'm loving that idea... I'd buy one!
Hello Bri. The paint is UV stable but we don't have any data for the glow period at present. I'll have a go at locking the frames in a storeroom... Maybe a UV fluorescent bike could sporn a whole movement of 'bike popping' trials riding in nightclubs. Kinda like 2-wheeled break dancing...
love it! do u have data for glow period this can vary a bit depending on the pigment type. Also how UV stable is the finish? No one wants to look like a faded dyno rod van in three years.... other glow colours are available and also UV fluorescent pigments - imagine how cool it is when your bike changes colour & glow when buzzed by some rude boi in his sAxo with underbody lights...
