im looking at a 456 and im between 16 and 18 but i used to have an older inbred but i cant remember what it was it measured 18" c bb to top of seat tube and 16 to top of top tube so was it a 16 or 18 i had lol ?
im 5 nine by the way im thinking a 16 is the best size for me
It was an 18"
I'm also 5'9" and ride a 16" 853 Inbred...I'd say its borderline to small for me as I do use a layback seatpost and a 100mm stem to get the right reach. 456 has a slight shorter effective TT than a standard Inbred iirc. Just to confuse, I ride an 18" Inbred 29er slidey dropout and have an 18" 456 in the loft somewhere.
christ lol so would you say an 18 456 for me at 5 9 i ride a med turner 5 spot if that helps
[i]med turner 5 spot[/i]
...has a 23" effective TT (well the 09 model on the Turner site does) so, as long as you don't find that too short, then I'd say the 16" which also has a 23" effective TT 🙂
no thats bob on . cheers id only found actual tt on the 06 site but im assuming the geometrys the same i thought id need the 16 tbh
