[Closed] Is my Inbred actually a 456??

it's my only complaint with my 853 Inbred really, though I applied some dentology to help matters

if you offered the same frame again with a ragley like chainstay I'd be very tempted

The Ragley chain stay solution is ace, but rather weighty. Trying for a bit of ovalisation, bends in the right place, and perhaps a touch less tyre clearance (clearance for Maxxis 2.5's I think is all you really need).

+1, the dentology worked well but taking a hammer to a frame seems wrong.

I would still have the the 853 if that hadn't been an issue. Just picked up a Sanderson Life and looking forward to getting it built.

Always liked "that" green, lovely colour. They were available when I got my (blue) 456 and it's sometimes niggled me that I should have had the other colour. Fantastic bikes, mine had years of (ab)use and is still going strong as my daughters bike since I progressed to an even better (IMO) ti hardtail (one with a more "ace" chainstay design 😉 )

No. Chainstay bridge was an early thing

Out of interest is there any way of knowing (frame no?) how "early" a 456 is?

Here's my Raw Finish Summer Slacker 😉 with under top tube cable guides, and I'm not shortening the remote release for the GD, cos it'll be too short to go either of my full sus frames then 😛
