I'm after a bit of inspiration. I'm building up a 456 Summer Series with whatever I can find. So far I have the frame, Marzocchi Shivers up front, a front wheel of no particular merit, and a pair of riser bars and stem I had kicking about.
Anyone using one at the moment? And if so, how does it ride?
Having swapped all the stuff off my 456 to a MmmBop and retired my SS Cinder Cone.
I am planing a SS 456, but I only have a pair of 115mm Reba's left over after I sold shed loads of kit last year so mine will be at the twitchy end of the 456 scale.
Build won't be for a couple of weeks as I have an even more retro build for my Stepfather going on using a 1989 Pine Mountain frame as the base!!
Crap pic. Since been properly 1x9'd with a Superstar XCX chain device and On-One SS ring, Hope wheels and a Charge Spoon. Running 105mm MX Comps and its excellent like that but I think I'm going to remove the spacer and get them out to 120mm. Might just be perfect then!

I used to have a 456, but have now gone to a Scandal S/S.
It still may give you some inspiration! 😉

Good luck!
Had this frame for 18 months - dont ride full suss anymore. SO much fun on this whether it be natural trails in the lakes , dales or peaks OR 7 stanes.

I thought the idea of the summer season was nice relaxed head angle (and steering) using normal(ish) 100/120mm forks so your rebas should be fine.I only have a pair of 115mm Reba's left over after I sold shed loads of kit last year so mine will be at the twitchy end of the 456 scale
Needs a chain and pedals. The saddle height needs checking too 😀
