The new frame is designed from the ground up with a lower BB and steeper seat tube. When you design a frame you put the bits where you want them.
With the current C456, adding a slackset gets the bits about where I want them too.

that's because it's a 20in frame in those pics.
Well I will forgive you then.

Well done you

What size seat tube on this, Brant?
27.2mm for now. Hope to move to 30.9 or 31.6mm, but we are tooling and testing a new main triangle tube set.

finally there seeping out!
come on evo owners...

I'm tempted....
Option 1 - Keep my Bluepig with the hanger that got so bent out of shape that even bent back as far as I dare the gears don't quite work now. Or;
Option 2 - Buy new 456 EvoWhat should I do? Decisions decisions.

We've also got slightly lower priced 26in Inbred and 29in Inbred complete bikes.
29in Inbred is currently being built up for Jenn and should be with Singletrack by the end of the week. Looking at £699 for 29in Inbred with Recon Silvers, SRAM X5 and our tyres.Some half-built pics here:-

what would it be like with a fixed 120mm fork or would i be better off with the standard inbred although on the website there apears to be no difference in weight bewtween 456 and inbred so wondering if the more flexible geometry of the 456 evo is a better buy

I'm sure it would be fine.
No difference in weight, after inbred gained some metal due to CEN.

Does anyone know what the BB height is? I'd probably stick my Pikes on it at 120mm most of the time. I'm hoping it won't be too much lower than my Singlespeed Inbred (about 13 inches) but just as much fun.
Has anyone here ridden the 456 EVO yet? I got my FS bike going again today and have decided to replace with a hardcore hardtail, much more fun and less annoying.

OK thanks. I'm assuming the 'BB Drop' is compared to the standard 456 which according to a review I just found has a BB height of around 13.25 inches (depending on lots of things). So an un-sagged drop of around 11mm wouldn't be too massive?
I just don't want to be compromised if I'm dodging through rocks and roots which I've found my other inbred to be great at. Cheers.

BB Drop is the distance the BB is below the wheel centre.

Oh I see. Thanks I didn't know that.

456 Evo X5 Sektor – £799 all day long (unless they sell out then we’ll put them up a bit)
The clever thing would be not to all rush out and buy one.
Posted 2 months ago # -
are the tyres available retail yet? I was quite interested in a 2.4 / 2.2 combo depending on weight
