next stop; Lime Green Summer Season – anyone got one?

Haven't had a hardtail for 10 years so faintly worried about the battering my backside is going to get.

That's you, and a chap called Dave.

Que?

I just got the 456 trail about a month ago, top bike. 🙂

I love riding it.

The only difference I can see between the 456 and the summer season is the slackish head angle. Am I right?

I didn't know that but your right, but it does go down hill well.

Mate of mine got a 456 as an option to his Transition. He found the <ahem> transition something of a shock but now he's got used to it he loves it.

the summer season is made with plain gauge tubing (not butted), and has iscg tabs.

so it's a little bit heavier, and supposedly has a bit less of that famous steel flex we all talk about*.

what forks are you putting on it? you'll end up with a very slack head angle if you're planning on using something much longer than 120mm…

(*456's aren't very twangy anyway – i don't think you'll be missing much, just use a big tyre if you want more comfort)

Hi ahwiles

hadn't thought that far ahead. Actually I have a weird plan for it – I'm going to run it singlespeed and with Project 2s (the corrected for 100mm travel version) while I tootle around lowland forest trails with the GF who is just getting into biking.

But after that I'm thinking about some Rockshox U-tun jobbies, although I can't see myself running forks more than 140mm on a hardtail frame.

I'm also vaguely assuming lack angles shouldn't bother me because my other bikes have 68, 66 and 64 degree head angles. My mate has a normal 456 and half wishes he'd gone for the Summer Season.
