The inbred is cromo steel, the Scandal aluminium alloy. The latter is lighter, but stiffer, the form a heavier but many like the comfortable 'steel feel'.0

The scandal is a 29er I think, which means bigger wheels.0

I think there's a slight difference in the frame size as well... Like, half an inch in the top tubes or something. But I could be wrong there, the numbers are all on the website though.
Scandal used to be a scandium alloy, now it's not, it seems to make no difference at all. Oh, and despite aluminium's rep for stiffness, the rear stays do have a bit of compliance, it's a surprisingly comfy bike. I liked mine but it wasn't very good with 130mm forks, if I'd wanted a 100mm XC bike I'd have kept it though.Uncompromising extremist0 -

The Scandal is available as 26er or 29er.0 -

The Inbred is DN6 cro-mo steel, it's their own brand sourced in Taiwan. Probably the same as 4130 though.0 -
Oddly enough, if you look on the On One website it explains everything in detail... :roll:0
