On-One Inbred 26er 14" frame advice

othello

If anyone has a 14" framed Inbred 26er, I'm after some advice.

Is it me, or is the top tube length given on the On-One website very long for the frame size? An equivalent 14" frame from another manufacturer (Specialized etc) has the top tube length almost 6cm shorter!

I'm wanting to use the Inbred for a custom build for my daughter, but I'm worried it will be a real stretch, even with a very short stem. Any thoughts from owners?

are you sure you are reading the right info.

hardrock 13 and 15.5 Top Tube Length (Horizontal) 540mm 561mm

Interesting! The impression I got was it was long, but against those numbers it isn't. A couple more bikes to compare against:

14" Cube attention 527mm
13" Whyte 401 563mm

Plus, I measured my sons 13" 2006 Rockhopper and that was 510mm (very short!).

Torres

Mrs Torres has one; she's 5' 4" and has hers set up with a 60mm stem. Agreed the reach is fairly long, but this seems to be a common trend across the board with on one bikes when compared with some other brands. However, it isn't always a bad thing; I personally find a longer bike a bit more stable and my weight is naturally a bit further back so I don't get pitched forward as much.
