Hi all.

I got my 456, steel frame in 2011 but have more or less been off the scene since. Just started getting out a bit again and it's great. What is different about the newer version of the frame? Evo and ob?

Cheers

    There may be quite a few but the obvious ones are a lower bottom bracket and slacker head angle. Personally I have stuck with my old lynsky 456 as I am still having a load of fun on it. And fun is the aim of MTB.

    The evos have a steeper seat angle so climb better and will take a reverb.
    Too many bikes, not all fully built.
