Replacement frame for my 456 summer season

mlbaker

Hello All,

I currently ride a 456 summer season equipped with Pikes, SLX, Mavic wheels etc. And I ride in the Peak District and out from Sheffield so I've built it to take some abuse.

I'm tempted by a new frame and have had a look about, I like the slack geometry of frame but not the weight (2.67kg). Anyone got any suggestions for a replacement, preferably not an obvious brand like...

Ragley
Cotic
On-One
Cove

I want to be unique!

Cheers

Ragley. Cotic won't get you the slackiosity, neither will any On One other than another SS. Not sure about the Coves, I guess a Stiffee but is that worth the money? For me, an Mmmbop would be the first choice I reckon. Light, strong and slacker than Beck.

Not that a Soul wouldn't be great, it just won't be as slack

I've been very tempted by a Ragley, I reckon the geometry is spot on but I only really like the Ti one which is a bit beyond budget!

Perhaps I should demo one?

Carbon 456? Not as slack but a brilliant ride...

Blue Pig or Mmm Bop...very nice....Wynstanleys have 2009 Stiffee's for £395...but if you wanna be unique...how about a Transition AM ???

Since they are handmade you can have any head angle you want if you like that sort of thing.

A lot of full sussers are less than 2.5 kilos with shock!
