    As above really. I am tempted.

    Anyone thinking of it.?

    Saw them at Dalby ….

    They also had a 29er prototype on the stand … think I'll wait for that 🙂

    Clearly people have as they've sold out of Small and Large frames, I've ordered a Medium.

    Can't decide…I'd prefer something as light as possible but still warranted up to 120mm: the Whippet is 100mm max from what I understand, a the carbon 456 is burlier than I need therefore heavier than I need. I kind of want a carbon version of the standard Inbred/Scandal.

    A Tranny would suit the bill but I could buy a Whippet and a carbon 456 for the price of that!

    I am thinking of getting one. Currently riding a Genesis Alpitude with 140mm Revs-the Carbon 456 could do a similar job with a big weight saving!

    Thinking about it. Can't justify it, Chameleon is lush, but y'know…

    Might try to get a go on one first

    I would have if they had rack mounts.

    Pedal Force, 1240g, up to 120mm forks, cheaper than an On-One! I've got a barely used 18" frame to sell if that's of interest!

    I thought the whippet was basically a carbon version of the inbred?

    I'll be sorely tempted when it's ready

    I emailed them a few days ago for more info on their quoted geometry figures…ie what forks do the angles assume, sagged or not…quite important on a frame that apparently handles such a wide range of forks. I've not had a response yet. I don't suppose anyone else knows?

    I just looked a the pedal force spec to see if your frame would be of interest or would fit me, but it only quotes a 17" or a 19" frame, and not a 18" just wondered what geometry is yours ?

    It is an 18", slightly longer than the 17". 600mm TT IIRC, but I may be talking rubbish, it's relatively short. email in profile if you want the geometry.
