Now I've replaced the old Stumpjumper with a new one, I want to take all the old bits off & build up a hardtail.
I don't really wanna spend loads of cash on it, as I've just forked out for the new Stumpjumper so was thinking of going for the (almost obligatory) On One frame.
The question is what frame to suit the Reba Team Air U-Turn that I'll be putting on it? Inbred or 456?
I've searched on here & found a few opinions on whether a 100mm fork is too short for the 456, making it quite steep. The Reba is 115mm at max travel. Some people say that ~100mm is fine & others reckon it's too twitchy, which is something I don't want.
I am guessing that with a 4" fork it's a bit steep, with a 6" fork it's a bit slack & 5" is where it's best...? Or is that completely wrong...?
I would just go for the Inbred & be done with it, but would this feel the same as the 456 with a short fork on it?
My motives are mainly to do with looks, as while the Barry White black & gold Inbred does look pretty good, I think the 456 in Chocolate with the Cream decals is a really good colour combo.
Opinions/Views/Experience/Conjecture, please!
