Might do. Might not. TBH I had a Soul before I ever tried a 456, and every time I rode my mate’s 456 after that all I could think was “This is a bit like a Soul without any of the good bits.” Just a big dead lump of a thing. But then I am a fanboi.
TBH, the big difference for me wasn’t the geometry or the weight, it’s just the feel of the thing. Ironically my C456 felt quite Soul-ish despite riding pretty differently, and my Ragley Ti’s got the same “WOO RIDING BIEKS!1oNE!” feel to it where the steel 456 (and my BFe) always just felt a bit “Riding bikes? OK then”
That’s a bloody brilliant review, that. I should go pro.
