What about the on-one prebuild?

Looks like an awsome bike.

I am considering the little brother --> anyone have experience with the on-one bike for road use? http://www.planet-x-warehouse.co.uk/acatalog/espresso.html

Choosing between the above or Dolan FXE but other suggestions are welcome! I will use the bike as a road commuter and I want the bike to be very different in looks and feel to my Panasonic NJS which is the good weather bike.

Thanks!
