On-One 456's ?
Comments

Well ive got the go ahead to order the frame so now i need to decide what one !
Going to be running them with around 130-140mm forks .. I Assume they are aimed at the same style of riding just with the summer season having the adjust to the head angle so that you run a less travel lighter, stifffer fork ?
EDIT : Talking about the 456 or summer season here0 -
456. The summer season is heavier and plain guage tubing.0

Pretty much made my mind up on one of these ! Im assuming if people are building them up with pikes etc the frames are strong enough to take drops and jumps ? (Not massive ones obviously !)
Build it up with revelations. Very similar strength to pikes, for about 0.5-1lb weight saving!
As for drops and jumps... Eeeeerm, that's what the 456 does! Just toss it off whatever you have the bottle to do, it'll be fine.0 -
Is it wrong that I really want the Pink one?!? I don't even really get the steel craze, but only £135 and it looks mint! I think the old n+1 rule is kicking in again.
After all I am missing a hardcore hardtail from my bikes at the moment , might have to think about that for a long term project....

I was pondering the pink one, but I don't think I'm man enough to carry it off! So went for the brown one!0

Thats why i went for the standard colour :oops:0 -
I have an on one inbred and I'm looking at the 456 due to wanting a nice burly frame to run 120mm forks on. But I can't bleeding decide on what size! I'm 6ft 1 with a 33.5" inside leg.0

I'm 6ft4 and went for the 20", You're kind of in between both sizes? If in doubt, give them a bell or email.0 -
seriously contemplating a pink one, but it will clash horribly with the red ano parts... so probably not.0
-
Anyone like to comment on how a 456 rides with a 100mm (reba) fork?
I don;t plan on buying a new fork just yet (maybe revs in the future!)0 -

Go for a 20", i used to ride 20" it was great. I'm 6'. Or if you want to be really clever, break the trend and but a pipedream sirrus instead.

This should be able help you on frame sizing.0 -
I think 18" is the way to go. My 20" inbred uses a 400mm seatpost, and even with my seat at the proper height I've still got about another 100mm left in frame. I think with 18" it'll be more "flickable."0

Rowlers, i ran my 456 with 100mm rebas for the first month until i replaced with 140mm Revs It handled well and was very quick. Much prefer the Revs, but if there just a stop gap until you get your long travel forks then go for it
