tinsy that is bloody light!

What size tinbred/scandal are you riding and how tall are you?

The 16" inbred is almost identical to a large Chameleon (except for the 2inches off the seat tube but a long ti post etc would solve and add to comfort)..

Hora, but that {edit} steel inbred{edit} doesnt fit in with your post for a light steel or compliant alloy hardtail, why not the Scandal and save 1 1/2lb in weight.

Have to go 2nd hand for a non slot one though.

I ride an 18" at 5ft 8" I am supposed to buy the 16" but was very happy with the Tinbred so bought another 18"

Now this light, but no idea what size they measured to get 1.2kg!

And it doesnt mention sugested fork length either.

iirc those scandiums are designed for 100mm forks. Have you considered one of the KUK Virsa frames suitable for 130mm forks and with DMR's swop drop outs so you could run it ss or geared.

I guessed it would be shorter, I posted it as I was astounded by the claimed weight..

That Kinesis actually makes alot of sense and yes I was drifting from the ideal (it must have been the dirty cheap price of inbreds). Will keep a lookout for secondhand Scandals and Kinesis xc120's so far....

Get a Scandal! I recon 120mm will be perfect. I run mine with 100mm and would like to put a longer fork on it.

I tried 115mm and it felt horrid compared to 100mm, could be just me though.
