[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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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 ๐Ÿ˜›
