Ideally the newer Inbred (16" or 18"). Just so I can get a definitive idea on size/fit for me.

18inch ti 456. I'm 6ft and the long top tube means i can run run a 60mm stem no problem. Live in central Manchester.

The standard Inbred has a longer TT than the Ti456 (I think).

Marginal difference, 456 is given as 23.5 inches effective top tube length and normal inbred as 23.7 inches.

Used to have a standard Inbred before the 456 and the difference is so small no way I would want a different size frame if going between them

That said a 16 is not much shorter in the tt than an 18 so if you wanted loads and loads of standover clearance the smaller might be the one to go for

16" would be way too small for you hora. I had an 18 inch and i'm only 5'11"

Yuor probably right. What stem do you guys run? I'd probably use a 50, 70 max to keep the cockpit compact as poss.

If you wondering 'sigh another frame'. Well yes 🙂 but Im sick of flash frames (hence the orange5) and this is a winter hardtail... I want 'ride better' than look 'boutique' from now on.

no wonder you change bikes more frequently than some people change underpants. you had a thread the other day where pretty much everyone said '18'. with this level of self doubt or indecision i'm surprised you leave the house. buy an 18. ride it. like it or not. sell it.

As I said earlier, run a 60mm stem with 120mm forks...rode with long(ish)100-120mm stem before on other bikes. It doesn't feel cramped but still can't get used to what a sawn off little runt of a thing it looks like.

Looking over the Inbred frame. Its paint has a sparkle and is of a bloody good quality. Its not too heavy and the welds aint bad. All for £125. How do they make their money? Is On-one really a front for illegal activity?

Thanks guys. The 18" is going to be spot on 🙂
