Thinking about a 456, but not sure which colour would suit my constitution.

Any chance you guys would like to show off a bit and post your On-One’s for inspiration?

Also thinking of running a 120-130 fork, so it’s either the On-One or I wait for a Ragley Piglet.

They’re quite different you know…

ah, someone who should know 😀

I’m no geometry genius and I haven’t bought a new bike since 2003, is the Piglet more xc orientated? I’m a little *ahem* heavy footed to be an xc whippet and really looking for something I can hit the trails with rather than race round them.

Chocolate Brown….

Ed Greatrock said the Piglet is “XCore (TM)”, and better than the Blue Pig, certainly for Gisburn style Trail Centring.

@Mr_Terrahawk A lot more than trail centres. XCore (TM)

Ed’s doing a Pig cast on Great-rock.tv soon.

ooh, that Chocolate brown looks nice in the sun

I’m loving the Piglet so far. Feels much more like a normal bike than the Blue Pig, but it’s still strong. As well as XC it seems happy being thrown into more technical stuff if you need it to go there. I’m not saying anymore. Wait and see.

Any old excuse to show her off.

If its not pink, its black or blue. What you can’t see are the blue Pro II’s and pink Superstar grips with blue locking clamps 🙂

Black n’ White!!!

Thought I would share my 456 carbon, first ride yesterday over Cleeve Hill in Cheltenham. Rides v.quick!

Running 10mm Hope headset spacer (came with the frame) and a 150mm fork which IMO is too much, will remove this later this week to tighten up the head angle. Otherwise, Revelation Dual Air Race forks 20mm bolt thru, XTR gears, Hope Hoops, SLX crank, On-One bars & seatpost, thompson stem, PG990 red cassette, PC991 chain, Carbon Elixir CR’s, Spesh phenom saddle. Weighs 23lbs according to my scales with pedals etc. Could drop it with some lighter bits but this is a hard trail bike.

Hot orange Summer Season.

An old pic from when the 456 was still mine. Now my wifes with a totally different build. I will get new pic when the new grips eventually arrive.
