So who will be the first to post pictures up of their shiny new carbon 456? I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of them!

Anyone got one on order?

    I demand someone in the Edinburgh area buys one in medium and builds it with 150mm Revelations so I can have a go and decide if I want it :lol:

    Blue rims and brake levers, some black V12's maybe, defo Hope QR's front and rear, hubs and seatclamp... All that on the black frame with the white On One part. You've got class mate, I've been dreaming about the same thing 8) :lol:

    Dream over, it ain't gonna happen anytime soon !

    I saw one of the carbon 456's at Glentress on Saturday and it was sooooo nice.

    I kinda wish I had save up that extra 200 quid now and got that and not the ordinary one :(

    A cheeky little clothesline manoeuvre would have been sufficient to "gently" take him off the bike? Oh, and make a quick getaway :D:lol:

    I'd really like a go on one of those myself, could be a real winner. Can't really afford to fit one out just now though so I'd probably better not.

    Going against the grain here, but that looks fucking ugly to me.

    I diasgree. I think the tires look daft, but i think the frame looks great. I especially like the way it's bereft of stupid stickers and decals. I don't suppose they'll release one with no stickers on it though.

    well it is lucky those tyres get a slagging :-) they are Conti Limited tyres they only make them for bike shows... I do not think the guys were worried about the colour when they were blasting the trails... The Carbo456 is indeed getting closer... Stay tuned on OO site. Headsets for tapered and 11/8" steerers are on the way too. and the CNC swapouts are getting machined in Sheffield

    Do you have an idea of how much the headsets will cost? I know the headtube is tapererd and can take tapered steerers, but if I'm running a uniform 1'1/8 steerer what type of headset will I need.

    cheers

    Just buy a tapered headset, plenty of them about these days. Anything from about £20+ depending (as always) on the quality you want.

    Sorry but I find the frame really ugly as well, but thats just me.

    I like its functionality, too many carbon frames look like the designer really wanted big metal tubes. It's not pretty IMO but it's purposeful.

    I think it's lovely... *drool* It will be nice to see the final production version.

    Seriously considering flogging my Mount Vision frame to fund one of these.. who needs all that rear suspension anyway!!

    Once I see the final design, I'll decide :)
