Think I'll be very tempted by a carbon 456 myself... Not that I need a new bike, like...

Want a carbon hardtail that's capable of taking a 140mm fork, and d'you know what, this is the only one I know of, so by that score alone, I'm interested, want a go on one (see what i did there), can't decide whether I like the way it looks though.

Come on Stevo - aren't you going to give us a clue whether the whippet is as light as (or lighter than) the 29er?

Guarantee that I'd break that carbon 456.

How does that Mix Taper Headtube work? How are conventional headsets going to be installed?

Shame it doesn't have a proper 1.5 headset, I know tapered is what all the cool kids want but 1.5 gives more options.

Its looking like were very possibly going to be doing painting / finishing / decals in the uk on all carbon on-one frames .
This will give customers much greater flexibility to get what they actually want , we need to run a few tests with Denby at his Peak district paint shop , but he has just sprsypainted a giant lamp my other half had made by George Cooper , and if the paint shop can pass the mad Irish woman giant lamp test , then should be good enough for on-one customers .
Have a meeting Friday to see whats going to be possible , but they reckon its a goer , if it works no need for customers to be constrained by our terrible graphics and inability to hire a decent graphic designer . .
The carbon 29er is going to be the lightest of the three frames , its being targetted as sub 1kg race bike , by a factory we are working very closely with , very used to producing top end carbon for the likes of those well known MTB brands - Merckx , Museeuew, Fondriest etc etc .
The 456 and carbon xc are being built a little more on the "safe" side so wont be as superlightweight , but will be cheaper than the 29er .

So will you be using the same flax technology (
) as Museeuew then?Interesting to hear that the whippet won't be as light as the 29er considering it's 'only' rated for a 100mm fork.
