Another 456 carbon

Actually had this for a few months now, just never got round to taking pictures 
Was after a new hardtail to replace the aging Maxlight, felt stupidly steep compared to the HD so I started looking for a new frame to trade parts across. Was looking at the Stanton Slackline, but On One were chucking these out cheap and the weight weenie part of me was very much swayed by the mega light frame. All built up shes a shade under 24lbs with nukeproof flats, well pleased on how its turned out!



Most of the parts came off the XC120, the post and saddle are the old stuff from the HD. Fitted a Havoc bar and 55mm Haven stem, was seriously liking the carbon bars and haven stem on the HD so smacked a set on here too, likewise the SDG grips
Quick spec run down:
On One 456 carbon 18"
Rockshox Revelation race 140mm
Superstar switch EVO/Stan's Crest setup with tubes and 2.25 Nobby Nics
Xt 1x10 drivetrain - 11/36 and 33t E-13 guidering and XCX guide
XT m785 brakes
Easton Havoc 750mm bars and Haven 55mm stem, SDG Han solo grips
So far it rides great, nice and slack really stable and quite forgiving which surprised me. Next step is change tyres and pedals, ditch the Gobi for a Madison Flux like I now have on the HD, and it can be bloody noisy at times, tempted by a zee mech, but tbh its damn sweet as it

Also slung on a new, well old front, Pacestar Nobby Nic on the back as the old one was pretty much bald and useless time of year. Loving the bike so far and mega excited to nick the Reverb off the HD and get some spare DH tyres for next semester at uni!

Will we see it completed before Christmas - delivery time is running out you know. Or is Father Christmas bringing you some bars? ;D

For bars look no further than Easton havocs, amazing shape, very well made and they feel great and can be had in alu form at a great price, one of my favourite products ever!

For some reason I don't seem to get on with the Gobi anymore, so once my next student loan payment goes in I'll probably get another Flux like the one on the HD, but considering its basically a Charge spoon I am very tempted to order a custom black and lime for the HD 8)
The zee mech looks awesome, will see just how much quieter it is this weekend.
Xt trail spds, commuting has been fun this week, so far I haven't forgotten to un-clip so I'm hoping there'll be no be silly falls on sunday
A picture of both bikes, beauty and the beast as they may become known
The 456 will be getting a reverb soon, thanks to Bails87 selling me his old one, which will save a huge amount of faff swapping posts round between bikes
Loan is in already
It's now rocking some M530 trail pedals as the xt's are on the HD and its got a reverb too, I'll also be chucking the madison flux back on as I have a new one for the HD, not been getting on with the Gobi recently so its going in the classifieds.
Also got a selection of tyres for this now too, which I just got today from bike-discount, this will see alot of DH work over the coming weeks, and Nobby Nics just don't cut it, so I've got some 2.35 Muddy Marys in vertstar and pacestar compound, the feel pretty light tbh will weigh them in abit
Pretty pleased with it so far, its slacker than the HD but I may open the forks to 150mm and get it even slacker, and I'm mighty tempted to fit a works angleset too, 65 degree headangle anybody?
How can the parts not do it justice?! Imo its pretty well specced for what its designed for, its well under 25lbs with a dropper seatpost and it's a great little bike!
If the parts on this C456 don't do it justice then I've seen several builds recently which must be a bit pontless and waste of a frame - including mine ;D
And I'm all for a bit of banter but can we please, please, please do so using the correct spelling - jeez, what is citisuim?

Haha if some of the people here spent less money on bikes and used it to learn to spell properly it'd be a brighter place
Granted its not a flashy build but its my winter and mini-DH bike and does the job bloody well
Agreed
Whilst XTR and the like is nice, it doesnt really add anything to the performance of the bike, especially if you only ride it on fireroads

Titus FTM Carbon
Since the last update I've added a Reverb (cheers Bails87!) and some new rotors, as the superstar ones were starting to warp. I also got some lime green headset spacers, just to see what they looked like really, think they look pretty cool!
