Ti Inbred or Inbred 456

Bnewsom

Does anyone know how to tell the difference?

I recently acquired a used Ti frame, the previous owner told me it was an Inbred 456, but what is that because I thought Inbred and 456 were two different frames?

I don't know how old it is but it has the "Made in Tennessee Built to go fast" sticker so I assume it is Lynskey made. It also has Inbred stickers but no mention of 456.

I need advice on what forks to put on it, 120 or something bigger?

Thanks

Looked there?

Yes, but it doesn't really answer the question.

Back in 'day, they were called inbred 456 and stickered as "inbred".

Now they are just known as 456.

No idea how to tell a TI inbred and TI inbred 456 apart, time to get the tape measure out maybe.

Thanks Brant, and I guess you're the authority on this. So does that mean I can run up to a 150 fork? I'm about to go shopping.
And any chance you'd be able to date it?
Cheers.

That's an early one, from the first production, which I'd put at around early 2008.
Yes - 150 fork is OK in theory, though I'd run 130mm to keep the seat angle in the realm of sensibleness. They got a bit slack with longer forks... Only really a problem for taller riders.

Hmm, I'm 6'4" :?

That is a 20in frame I hope then!

(I can't tell from here).

150's will be fine, but I'd probably go a bit shorter.

Bnewsom

yep a 20"
Narrowing my search for forks so far to a 2013 RS Reba RL 120 new at £250 or Fox Float RLC 130 new but 2011 model at £350. I'm more than a bit wary of buying used.

Get some Rev's. 130-150mm to your choice and tough as old boots (so used is a pretty safe bet - my daughters are immaculate).

I don't s'pose your daughters are for sale are they?
