I’ve raved about mine on here a few times. It really is a great bike. Whether through luck or judgement the Sick bicycles crew designed an excellent frame. Thankfully On One pricing means they’re not too bad value.
Oh dear, they do look good - I like the Sea Foam green: https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FROOHD/on-one-hello-...Wonder if the Medium frame will be too big for me at 170cm with short inside legs? Might be massive on the reach front!
The geometry is obviously designed with ploughing steep downhills as a primary goal. With such a long and slack front end you might have to adjust your riding style to weight the front more actively on tight corners and flatter trails, but the looong chainstays might keep it balanced (if at the expense of agility and playfulness).
I'm speculating from the geometry as I haven't ridden one (I don't think they even exist on my side of the world) but it looks very capable for steep fast downhill and grinding steep climbs back up, but not an all-rounder to be much fun on tighter or flatter trails.

Where did you get the paint job done? The wife’s tt bike could do with one
It was done by Lucia at Velofique. Can't recommend her highly enough.https://www.velofique.com/
Check out her Instagram page as that has loads of examples of her work.
'Dale' loitering at Mudeford Quay in between laps at two local BMX tracks. Yeah, yeah, "the proper tool for the job" it isn't, but hey...?
