What type of headset do they take (and are they tapered head tube)?
Also what size front mech and seat post dia.?
(yes, I am VERY tempted!)
They're great, here's mine

Been riding it for about 9 months. I'd agree that the top tubes are a little bit short for an 18" but some playing around with stem lengths and a lay back post and its sorted. Rides and handles brilliantly.
Yeh tapered headset its this one [url] http://www.x-goods.com/Prodetail.asp?menuid=329&id=1068 [/url] the frames come with the headset,34.9 front mech 34.9 seat clamp & 31.6 seatpost.
Just amazing
The only bad bit is on all the forks i have had the carbon steerer is a little to fat so you need to sand it down to get the top 2 bits on the headset on.
I'm wondering what size would be best for me - I'm 6ft with 32" inside leg - I'm guessing the 18" frame?
I'm guessing the 18" frame?
593mm ETT seems very long, what do your current bike[s] measure?
I am 5ft10 32" leg and have a 20" with a 100mm stem and a inline post,this is mine from a few months ago when I had a lefty on [IMG]

Looks like an on-one?
I'm 6ft with 32 leg and 18" is fine for me
This will be the business model of the future..the next step in retailing-buy direct. No importer/distributor margin on top!
Seems a good way to go - internet company MD 🙂
Doing it right is harder. But, well...
Don't think this is sour grapes from Brant more an issue with the thousands of C456 frames they have to get rid off. A frame Brant didn't design.
Didn't a bloke called Elvis in the Far east(yes I know) design the c456?
so when you're saying £200, this is for the frame itself and not for the whole bike?
Of course. That would be 'stolen', rather than 'cheap'.
So with mid range components (shimano deore for eg) you'd expect to have a complete bike for around 5-600 quid?

This made me laugh.
