paul, mine is a prototype 456, there are 2 only with an EBB, there are some tinbreds (i think) and normal inbred from back in the day with them.

and my normal mk2 or 3 inbred (stripped down to frame only).

The Phaons just will not die, never really liked them as the spring was too soft and it's impossible to get a replacement here... left them 12 months and it stiffened up. Not too bad now but the stanctions are rubbed to flat spots and still work the same...
Here it is

Yeah, it was pretty good. Average speed was pretty slow (10mph) but hard to go much faster when on 32:17. ([url= http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Darlington-Woodland-Wolsingham-Westgate-Barnard-Castle-Darlingto ]map[/url] and [url= http://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/workoutdetail/index.do?id=1274758 ]GPS data[/url] - there's another 5 miles not shown between home to start.) Good Kielder 100 training.
mamadirts is the only one i'd be seen riding and more akin to a build i'd do.
looks like it`d be fun on the jumps etc.

Who takes pics of their bikes when they're covered in mud and you can barely see them? 😉

If I didn't take photos of my bike when it was muddy, I'd never take photos of it 🙂 Actually, I did clean my bike in April and took some photos tehn.

Ti456 count as an Inbred?
Anyone know what a 16" steel frame would weigh? Thinking about building one up for my wife with rigid forks.
very early pic with poor dress sense and mix and matched bits on it 😉

My 456. Just swapped the Vanillas for some Dual Air Pikes, not ridden it with the Pikes yet as the front brake hose is now too short.
Great all round bike, superb on singletrack and rocky tech stuff.

I put slicks and panniers on it last weekend and rode the 200 mainly road miles from Bingley to Banbury, over three days.

Mind I have found less crap sticks to it than most bikes
Here are mine -
The first (with comedy air at the Weekender - courtesy of Dave Haygarth)

And the most recent - built this week and ridden no further than the bottom of the garden (now with sorted stem and gear cables). Has replaced my short travel geared bike to hopefully learn me some skillz.

Extra points to Saccades for including an almost buried troll in his photo 🙂
Here's mine - not the most inspiring of backdrops (don't say a word about the state of the lawn...) but it does at least show the frame in its current guise. It's an 18" sliding dropout model - and its ace.
I don't normally run the Revs on it - it's just that the 100mm Rebas are at the menders.

I'm a bit late on the uptake...but here's mine

It's now considerably more muddy...with a higher seat 😛 (although out of action for a while courtesy of an icy accident 🙁 )
