Same as it says in the title:

Whats the difference between the 456 and the inbred?

Bikerbaboon

thanks for explaining

nicklouse

not quite.

the Inbred is a 100mm travel HT frame and the 456 Inbred is a 4-5-6" travel HT frame

Yep, different useage, different geometry, different tubes, different weight.

So not the same ;-)

I know where you can get a cheaper steel frame, though I am trying not to become a fanboy for my new frame :oops: So I am not going to tell you...

You said it! oh and if you ask nicely ATC will fit any headset and BB that they sell in their store with no fitting charge (you pay for the headset and BB though obviously )

Pay no attention, however, to what the frame says on it - There are plenty of 456s and Summer Seasons badged as Inbreds

Like mine, for example !!

456s are Inbreds apparently, but not all inbreds are 456s. Simples.

Also, 456 = extremely capable bargain mid travel allrounder, Inbred = excessively heavy outdated short travel XC bike with delusions of mid travel capability. IMO

456 is longer travel than the inbred and has a slightly beefier frame. As someone else mentioned though not all inbreds are the same geometry.
