Never seen a Planet-X BMX.  Have you tried contacting them direct?

I seem to recall Brant Richards saying on a mountain bike forum that On-One made a BMX frame but no one bought them and they sold em off for £100.

Was it steel or aluminium? in what way was it a pig? (or just coz of the dropouts). any idea on the age of the mag?

On-one Gimp has the same shape headtube gusset but that's the only similarity, the Planet X jack flash looks very much the same as it, but obviously bigger.

If it was only a prototype then it's unlikely anyone on here will know anything about it or where it is.

Maybe it's in this pile somewhere:

Thanks for that, but that's not the one.

It's aluminium, fat tubing, loads of gusseting on every triangle, v-brake mounts on top legs.

I'll have to take a picture of it when i get back to work in the week.

Not mine, someone elses.  I'd call it a day if that many of my frames went pop.

We are talking dim and distant past here, but I think it was a Street frame, and was designed by Patrick Guimez. Neither of which means terribly much to me, but might to someone. Quite "of it's time" I think - big grindy dropout plates etc.

I'm sure George French, who helped us make our Full Monty hubset would have been horrified.

I also seem to recall an alloy bmx frame, possibly gold anodised, but this was just a sample. I dare say I have a pic somewhere on this laptop, but can't find it.

Lots of frames in that pile - I think it was about three years worth.

Should put it here!!!

Only 3 made according to there website. 

Mine cost £80 i think about 10 years ago.

It was a protoype race frame, stickered as a Jack Flash. 
I also have a 26" Jack flash so thats the reason I got one,
Also cos its really rare!!!

Cheers guys
Winston.
