    Or maybe it was so the nose of the saddle could be grabbed between the knees for no handers n stuff.....

    Pretty much as AJ says, though I was never any good at no-handers

    My Bfe just after finishing it. Lots of changes planned now I've started riding it in anger and finding out exactly what I require from it.
    And a more arty shot more recently....

    Got a few changes planned, first of all 1 by 10, with a race face narrow wide. Then bars and brakes and eventually a dropper post :D

    Both bikes are very nice. I went 1x10 on my Stiffee, but found myself pushing up most of the big hills. I have a clutch mech and chain device.

    All these long travel HTs is making me really want to rebuild my 456 now! Or buy a new one... I'm sure I can't afford it but it won't stop me trying :lol:

    Great all-round hardtail. Using it on 4x, pumptracks, mini dh/fr and xc.

    My C456 looking out over a very wet Monkey Trail at Cannock.

    Keep threatening to play with a Cotic frame instead, but I like this frame rather a bit and don't fancy spending more money.

    Having gone from a C456 to a BFe, they're leagues apart. The BFe is comfier, it's no where near as harsh over bumps, seems to handle and ride better, they look a lot nicer and the overall quality seems way higher. I only had to look at my C456 and it seemed to scuff and scratch. Only place it pulls things back is the weight, they are bloody light, but when the BFe rides so nicely and isn't a great deal more expensive, it's doesn't make a huge deal of difference. Cotic have pretty much nailed the BFe and I'm actually pretty chuffed I ended up with it instead of the Slackline I originally brought, because it rides so damn nice it's hard to believe it could be much better! :lol:

    Keep looking at this thread and very tempted to build up a Cotic bfe even though the biking world looks to be ignoring the 26" wheel

    Ladder drop we built today. Can ride it quite fast in the wet so in the summer when everythings dry it should be really good

    Been thinking about trading in to a FS recently but have to say reading this thread through has kicked me back into sense.
