Quite a few 456's popping up !

Sounds like its going to be a nice build 8)

tricky_dicky

if it wasnt for the offer on the 456's i was going to keep the reign and do a cheap sintesi build, but i saw these and decided to build one up. i dont care that theyre common, there is a reason, for the money theyre darn good!

Sounds very much like what I'm doing myself but slightly less travel.

Completely agree about the frames, they may be common, but they are BIoody good!

Did you get the headset from an Ebay shop? or an individual?

Don't suppose you remember the name if it was a shop?

tricky_dicky

It was an ebay shop called the_buyers_bazarre they were v helpful and ita brand new!

Hey trickyD

How's the WIP coming along? got your frame yet?

If you're not using the Deore v-brakes from that Groupset from Merlin, will you give me a shout, I may be interested in buying them off you for my old 80s commuter unless you have other plans for them.

allthegearnoidea

had i not gone down the lbs i'd have most likely got one of these too! b ut for the silly deal i got on the cotic, there seems an awful lot of Great feedback from the owners no matter where you look! - quite taken with the barry white colour special ediion!!

what you think of the wheels?? been using mine for six months or so and find them Very good, especially for the coin!!

tricky_dicky

if the barry white was available as a 456 i would def have had it! Only had one ride so far so hard to comment but the wheels seem damn sturdy!!
