    A bit weighty, but tough, and good value for a mid travel cromo frame.

    I think On One recently increased the price of the Inbred from £139 to £199, I used to have one, if I was getting another, it would go for a 456.
    The frames are quite heavy compared to others but remember the frame is only a small proportion of the total, fitting lighter components will help.

    No, on the on-one website the Inbred have discounted to 139, but anyhow I have just bought a Dialled Alpine size 16.5" and looking forward to building it. Looking at 150mm RS coil Sektors on it too.

    The Alpine is quite a different bike to the Inbred - not sure what riding you normally do...

    Had a 26 Inbred hardtail, loved it. Now have a 29er Inbred hardtail, love it just as much.

    As SS said, they aren't the lightest in the world but they ride nicely, seem pretty unbreakable and are just such fantastic value.

    At £139 they were good value, at £199 (+43%) I'm not so sure.
