Having owned a 29er Inbred which I quite liked, but by God it was heavy, what does the Inbred do that the Scandal doesn't?

Same geometry, just different material (and about 2lb in weight), and the Inbred isn't even that much of a flexy/forgiving steel frame anyway as well as the fact that 29er wheels will add a lot more comfort (when compared to 26" wheels) than any hardtail frame material change can.

Looks nice BTW, just puzzled why you'd change.

I found my (original scandium) Scandal to be the most compliant frame Ive ridden. Cant vouch for the steel inbred 29er, but I was coming from a steel 26" inbred.

why?

Always preferred how steel frames ride compared to alloy ones. Would of bought an Inbred last year but they were out of stock, so i bought the Scandal. And orange is a better colour than green.... ๐Ÿ˜›
