feels like I'm riding a big slack BMX with wide bars and looks bizzare
My mate rides one single speed with a renthal MX bar and a VERY short rigid fork.. It IS to all intents and purposes a giant BMX.. looks rad.. I'll post a pic over the next day or two..

Mine which is a bit of a mixed bag of parts that I threw together as it is only a hack bike for my increasingly rare visits to the island.

In XC mode !
Hi can anyone tell me what these like with a 120mm fork on or do they need more?

Finally sussed out what the actual colour of the current 'strong blue' 456 is - it's Bluebell Blue! This was mine this morning, half past six, must have been at least 20degrees. Fan-blooming-tastic.
Oh; [i]the-milkybar-kid[/i] - mine's got 100mm Rebas SL's on and it's fine. One of these days* (ahem - only been saying that since day one) - I'll get round to stretching them to 120mm as always planned. I suspect it will only improve it and for XC riding, is probably the perfect option - having played around with my 100 - 130mm Revs from the full susser before.
in ss mode ..

My 'Stealth Bomber'
First 456C pictured?
Early testing days. Reba Team 120mm forks with Hope headset which includes a 10mm depth bottom race to put the geometry out to 130mm.
Feels good so far-quick and sturdy. And yes, I know the saddles brown!

Very late to the party, but here's my 456. Built with mainly stuff off the old bike, but new wheels already planned. 1st ride yesterday, quite impressed.

My 456 - 100mm fork is plenty for most of what i ride. Ocasionally it'll get overwhelmed in seriously rocky areas, but it's only a cheap fork anyway. I did run it with a Pike for a while, and that was smashing, but the Pike went back on the FS after a few weeks. If i was to have one MTB, this would be it.
This is still a On One 456, but TI!
