Have been gradually upgrading my old Hardrock, with a view to getting a new frame at some point. When I saw the (very very yellow) C456 at half price the other week I went for it. Couldn't believe how light it was when it arrived! Just need to fit my rear brake tomorrow (annoyingly my BB7 wouldn't fit on the rear with the standard dropouts so I had to order a new one).

Tomorrow is going to be yellow!

Woohoo indeed! New bike is always a nice feeling. But we NEED pics!

My C456 is ace - lime green / black. Cant fault it tbh - except its kind of cheap so its never going to be precious (if that makes any sense?).

The brake position is indeed odd - and the "optional" dropouts to take some brakes are a bit of rip off (in comparison to the frame).

#Edit - just to be clear - I'm not meaning to less than enthusiastic - it's my "go to" bike: If I think its a long ride - C456, its raining - C456, its Wednesday - C456, .... you get the idea.
