Just seen the new colour ones on the on-one site and I must say, the orange is looking yummy. And £135... serious winter SS bargain-tastic price.
So, does anyone run 110mm forks on theirs?
What sized seatpost? 27.2mm like my old Inbred?
Anyone got a new colour one built up I can have a perv over?
Anyone running one SS?
Off to see what I can flog on ebay now to raise £135!

if your going to SS it surly an inbred would be more suitable
Its going to be for gnarly stuff so like the slightly overbuilt nature of the 456 SS plus it'll probably have bigger forks on it when I get something new for the Insanity Cruz.
Don't think anyone has one built up yet - mine should be here next week.

Seatpost is 27.2 - I'm gonna have U turn Pikes on mine.
Looks very heavy in that photo 😉
looks like its got 40,000 volts running through it
Now, I thought the whole point of the summer season frames was to allow you to run a shorter fork but still have the benefits of a slack head angle (as you would get on a 'normal' 456 with long forks).
Everyone seems to be talking about sticking big forks on 'em ... that's what the 456 is for.
The On One website quotes the SS frame as having a head angle of 66.6 degrees with a 5" fork ... no one wants to go slacker than that now ... do they?

For super steep tech stuff, i do! 🙂
Right, I've just been out into the workshop and my *findings are;
Summer Season, 100mm Toras = 67 degree head angle
PA, 130mm Drop offs = 69.5 degree head angle
NS Bitch, 170mm 66's = 65 degree head angle
The summer season and PA both ride really well up and down ... you only want to be going down on the NS 😉
*Static - no sag.
DH bikes have slacker head angles. I am thinking i will run the Pikes at around 120mm though most of the time but we'll see.
My (& Tons) old Summer Season has 130mm revs and it was ace, then i got into the Pike "hype", over bike'd it and made it worse.
It was better at 125 to 130mm and the revs were nice and light compared tot he Pikes.
