Wow- thats a, erm....unusual build you have there Gav... 😯
I guess you have it that way for a good reason, but the long stem (with a rise), hi-rise bars and a layback post..mmm.
Interesting also that you really need a low clamp front mech - high clamp makes for a big angle change for the front cable.
Same issue with Mrs B's

stoney - how are the high rollers ?
tubeless on 819's per-chance ?
grip ? puncture resistance ?
Minion front and HR rear, geto tubeless. I`ve only had one in the rear that didnt seal as the sealant had gone to a coralised lump.....Grip is good and the minion got a good writeup in MBUK.
geto ?
I may have spelt that wrong!
nice slide!! 8O...grass needs cutting etc etc
Hey everyone, kind of new to the forum (lurked for a while, thought I'd best sign up!). This is mine (31.6lbs for those of you who care about such things!):

Looks great. Which company did the respray?
Triple S in Bingley, Bradford. Nice fella, £80 plus decals by my mate. Already scraped the stays...bugger!
Does a Summer Season count as well? Will have to try and remember take my camera with me and get some pics on the trails instead of this one lol

lol ahwiles, seems i have the legs of someone 6ft 3 and Ronnie Corbett's body 🙂
Awesome bike's to ride the 456.
Guess where/when 🙂

Liked mine but I do prefer the standard inbred (just a touch faster handling)
Does this sound ludicrous? A 6footer on a 16" 456? Rode a 18" Inbred and found it too stretched out.

[/img]
With little 100m forks on. Turns out a slack bike is useful on sonw and ice 🙂
Yet another summseason. I've now changed the forks to Fox32

Hora, I would think that a 16 would be a bit small. I am 5'10" and have a 16 summer season and a 18 single speedslot. The 18 has a 70mm stem on which makes the reach ok. I went for the smaller summer season to use as a bike for riding peak district and places like lee quarry so wanted it a bit smaller. the 18 is fine though, used for local riding - lincs fields and woody singletrack stuff.
I know but I found the (newer) Inbred 18" too long/too stretched out (23.7TT)- the 456 is 23.5 so not much in it?
Ps. Theres only 2-3 inches in it between you and me? My instep is 32/33inch.
no, nothing in it. the 75mm stem on the smaller one makes it about the same. the super slackness of the summer season makes a lot more difference. Feels like it could smash over everything (shame i can't ride that well though). It is bloomin heavy though!
Heres my Choclate brown 456. Finished the build yesterday. Hopefully give it a blast round the Puffer course tomorrow.

I know the steerer is too long!! It will be cut down once Ive got it set at a good height

very cheap build thanks to the STW classifieds and the bay! Cost 1/5th the price of my Meta and I love it just as much!

Broke my DH bike so had to make do with my 456... was at least as much fun. Yesterday rode it for 8 hours in the Gorges du Tarn, including over 5000' of height gain, very good bike...
