Scandal takes bigger rubber and has more progressive geo so would get my vote for a small weight penalty over the Whippet.
velosaurus-
Cheers - it does seem more versatile than the Whippet (I’m trying to not think, ‘lighter - better’)
I was also looking at the giant fathom (the new one) but practically the two aren’t hugely different spec or geometry wise. (I’d get the 29er version). Price wise, I think they’d end up pretty similarly if you factor in a dropper into the On One
Also...I cannot find the giant in stock anyway so it’s kind of a mute point...

Hey all,
I’m emphatically a roadie, so in need of a bit of geometry advice.
Basically I might get one of the two on-one options below or any other options about the same price...
On one scandal. Which is quite well priced at the moment. Seems (from what I can find) to have fairly normal geometry, ok spec list and (critically) in stock. I’d add a dropper post.
On one Whippet Equally well priced. Seems to be quite traditional XC geo. Would also add a dropper.
I basically just ride byways on a gravel bike and would like to be a bit less battered. Would like to do occasional trips to wales/Scotland/do alfreds way etc.
