my fireline in sixe 16, i expect to have it builded next week
Sweet, can't wait to see it. Especially if you go with the 100mm fork you mentioned.
as in no badge and no decalsthey shipped them out of the uK before I even knew they had landed!
and before the decals arrived from the USA.I think decals are in tommorow, so we'll be playing catch up.
Sorry for that.
So I reckon I should getting a headtube badge and decals. Haven't seen them yet tho.
I'm in the gang! Swapping my Ti 456 for a Fileline. I've got my frame, fairly set on the CRC Revelation forks and 2x10 2013 SLX. Wheels are a sticking point tho, can't be more than £350 so I'm thinking Stans Arch ZTRs, Flows on Hope or American Classic. Thoughts? I'm 6'2" and around 95kg so not looking for anything too spindley.
BTW anyone want a 20" Ti 456 (Lynskey)??

Is it silly cheap?

It's fairly priced for a good condition Ti frame.
Pics and price to mail in profile if you don't mind.
i'lll be selling my 18" Lynskey built Ti456 too.............. 🙂

No probs, I'll get some to you over the weekend. Are you interested in the complete bike or just the frame?
I'm 6'2" and around 95kg so not looking for anything too spindley.
6'4" and 87kg finding am classic XCs to be great on my XC bike. Very stiff, very light, taken some abuse (a week in the very rocky Torridon). A fireline's a bit heavier duty bike than I have though, so would maybe consider the arches/flows.
Bought a 40t MRP XCG in ISCG for mine and discovered the guides are not in alignment. £43 down the drain.
A mark 2 with fixes for these issues would be good ASAP. Feels a bit like being a test rider TBH. Says a lot about the ride that I've no intention of dropping it tho.
Seems quite a few owners previously had a TI456 (me included) 😮

Well my seattube seems more like 32mm internal, maybe Brant should give us a partial refund 😉
Yep same with my seat tube. Very noticeable where it's clamped.
the_lecht_rocks - Memberi'lll be selling my 18" Lynskey built Ti456 too..............
Could you drop me a line if you're still thinking about it please? Couldn't find an email addy for you so hope you spot this. Cheers 🙂
Anyone tried 100mm forks in one of these yet?
It's a shame OO seem to only sell the old style headtube badge and not the new one that the full price FLEs come with. Doesn't seem right sticking the old one on a new frame. Also don't have the replaceable dropouts available yet. Ho hum.
To the chap complaining about his ISCG mount being out. They do say the cheap ones are, though only in a picture and not in the main text where it still incorrectly states ISCG05 (I'll stick the word Brant in here do this comes up in his vanity search ;)). Seat tubes are baggy yes, but carbon grip and a good collar work for now. Long term I reckon I'll need to ream it and glue on a shim. We'll see. It was cheap I guess. American cheap too sadly.
this new trouble with the seat tube it, s starting worrying me.... i will use a gravity dropper with a shim and maybe it gives me trouble?? have ordered a thomson seatpost clamp ... i hope it will works ok...
Quick Q on fork length.
I got one of the cheapy 140mm RCT3 revalations that CRC are knocking out to go on my frame.
[s]the on-one site/brant said frame is designed around a 543mm a-c fork - the revelations at 140mm are 548mm a-c (from what I can see on google). [/s]
[i]
edit: fool - it says 526. so 20mm too much (which makes sense) maybe I'll adjust...[/i]
If I don't shim them down to 120mm will I die?
Or should I just give them a go and then shim down if it's all a bit crap?
You won't die, no. You;ll just have a higher front end and a slacker head angle. You may prefer that. You may void your warranty too, ask OO if you care.
The fork comes with two 10mm spacers which you can put onto the spring rod easily enough. Its worth stripping and lubing a new RS work anyway. Mine were very dry 🙁 Only take 10mins to lube and add the spacers in.
I'll probably shim them - they did come with the spacers, as you say.
Was just feeling a bit lazy and I always panic when it comes to trying to work out which forks use what type and weight of oil...
Oil is easy. Print this, laminate it, and fix it to the wall of your shed.
I might be a little special when I'm in my shed, true 😛
cool, thanks 🙂
Anyone tried 100mm forks in one of these yet?
I'll take that as a 'no' then..
Ok, so which headset are people using in theirs?

waitting for the fork...
Hi all, new here.
Maybe a stupid question but where can i find a headset that would take a taper 1.5" fork on this frame?
i'm 6.1 (185cm) should i go for a 20" frame and 50mm stem/wide bars combo? or 18" and 80mm stem?
I've got;
1 Hope Pick n Mix Headsets - Bottom Cup - 1.5" - Traditional 49.57mm
1 Hope Pick n Mix Headsets - Top Cup - 1.1/8" - Integral 43.95mm
for mine.
Got this fitted
http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/HSOOSMTAPER/on_one_smoothie_mixer_tapered_headset
but have this in green ready to go in, when I can be bothered
http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=425
I was going to go for a smoothie but an extra £20 for a crown race is stupid. Think I'll get a Hope. Cheers for the info wwaswas.
Look at the superstar,good quality, you get both crown race's and they are only £32 in the sale
Ride reports ???
Here's my large Evo, it's got all the old bits from my Inbred except the fork and headset. I ordered a Superstar headset but sent it back when I saw it. The bearings rattled around in the cups! For not much more I have a Hope which will last. It handles well at 140mm, and is the only 29er I've managed to wheelie.
I'm going to eventually upgrade the wheels (singlespeed rear) to Chinese carbon rims, swap the 2x7 for 1x10.... and a KS Lev if I can.

Sorry- I can't upload the pics.
Hi Happybiker - nice build!
I have bought a set of 29er Rebas & 29er wheels as well as some 10 speed XT transmission stuff & was waiting for a 19" Dirty Harry 29er raw carbon frame to come back into stock......but I am very tempted by the fireline Ti. Particularly the LTD as I am OK at fettling.
The Hope headset looks the business & the rear wheel clearance not too bad.
You say yours is a large (20") & how tall are you / what is your inside leg? I am just ovet 6ft (32" i/Leg) & am leaning towards the 20" too.
Hi Johnhighfield, Im 6ft with a 32/33 inside leg and the 20" is great. I come from an xc racing background and wanted mine to be capable of all day marathon races as well as fun trail centre weekends. I would say if you are more into descending the 18 is probably better, although I can't see mine being a slow descender, the top tubes are pretty short anyway. I still haven't taken it on a proper ride but just did an hour locally through muddy fields and then some playing on the local skate park and it's awesome!
My Inbred was the opposite, it never inspired me to go and play on it, although the extra 40mm of travel might be the reason. I'm running an 80mm stem 680mm bar combo, I have a 60/720mm on my full sus which I might put on just to see.
C'mon lads, lets have more ride reviews..........
I ride an 18" ti456.....
Assume thE 18" fireline will suit...... Brant.....?
Hey, i'm 6"1 and currently ride an 18" ragley mmmbop which is just about the right size ( with a layback seat post). Would I need a 20" frame or can I get away with an 18"? I still want to run a 50/60mm stem.
20" all gone.
I am 6 3 and with the short tt I am using a a 100 stem
Hmm, 20" out of stock.
wondering if 18" would be better for me anyway to retain maneuverability from the wagon wheels and a lively playfull handling.
Any thoughts out there?
The easiest to manoeuvre bike will be the one that fits you best?
