i owned on of the original ‘that green’ 456 frames, just got a new one, same size 20”.
i ran a 90mm 15 degree rise stem on it, as i have on the new one, same length seatpost, seat in same position.

either my body has altered a huge amount or they measure differant.

They haven’t altered at all Tony.

They are about to, but they are currently off the same drawings as ever.

What can we look forward to on the new ones and when will they be docking?

Completing in a few days in Taiwan.
Then shipping, about 5 weeks.
So mid Feb.

Lower BB, steeper seat angle, slacker head angle. You know the score 😉

Will the new steel frames have swap-outs?

I always preferred the ride of my 456 over my P7, but since fitting an Alfine to the latter, the derailluer geared 456 has languished on the garage wall…

A hub-gear compatible 456 could tempt me to release some moths from the wallet…

How does that affect TT length? staying the same or shortening?

Hi brant, any plans for larger seatpost Diameter ? Would love to go Back to a 456 but the lack of compatible dropper posts was an issue for me.
