  • Is my Inbred actually a 456??

    Someone has commented on my new (to me) frame on Pinkbike:

    First: something like “you know that’s a 456 right?” when I asked what he meant he said: “The top tube on the 456 meets the seat tube in the same place as the seatstays, on the inbred, the TT is slightly lower. For some reason, the early 456’s were badged as inbreds (not quite sure why, i think they were known as an “inbred 455″ or something).”

    I’ve looked at a few pics and can see what he means – so is he right??

    Yep. 456. Top of top tube cable routing and the colour are dead give aways. That’s the best 456 colour ever too! 🙂

    Yeah, there is often confusion with the Inbred, 456, 456 Summer Slacker, due to decals used by On One at various times. Individual decals seemed to get sorted out after Brant left (2009 onwards?). There have been a few classifieds where unknowing people have advertised an Inbred and others have pointed out to the seller what the frame actually is.
    This is my 2008 456 Summer Slacker

    It was called “that green” I think. There was a blue called “Triggers mums bathroom blue” as well
    IIRC there were very few green ones and they were sort of sought after for a time because they were rare.

    From memory doesn’t the 456 have the same diameter top and down tube?

    That’s a 456 – you can tell by the pipework being matching sizes.

    Yup!

    Wasn’t “Triggers mums bathroom blue” the original pompino colour?

    Actually, the new Inbred frames, it seems, since having to be uprated to pass EN testing have the same main tube dimensions (wall and diameter) as the 456’s.

    According to CRC, it’s an Inbred 456. Same colour available even (discontinued now).

    B.a.nanas bike up there – is that a raw finished steel frame? Looks good, can’t see from size of image what the finish is.

    So is mine actually an Inbred like it says it is??

    jackthedog, yes raw finish, which was all it was available in originally. It was after Brant left that it started to come in multi colours and with ISCG mounts. Despite just a lacquer finish, it hasn’t rusted much in 3 years, anymore so than On One frames normally do. Tho it has spent more time on the workstand as various projects being built, than actually ridden.

    Barry, yep, that’s a normal Inbred. Cable guides UNDER the top tube. 🙂

    Older Inbreds had the bridge and IMO much better for it as mine didn’t suffer chainsuck.
