So finally finished my 456 after buying the frame back in April or something. Took it for a quick spin tonight and rides really well.





Quick spec rundown:
On-One 456 16" Frame
RS Revelation RLT 150mm 2012
Superstar Switch hubs on Stans Crest rims
Superstar 65mm Zenith stem
Vector 700 bars
XTR BB
SLX chainset and rear mech
XT fron Mech
Superstar inline seatpost
WTB speed V saddle from gladdice (probably fall off even more now)
XT M785 brakes with Icetech rotors (160 and 180mm) - crazy amount of power for 1 finger braking.

Off to Somerset tomorrow to find some proper hills to ride down (and up).

Super nice - loving the colour. How are you liking those forks?

Tidy ride mate!

To be honest I've ridden it 9 miles along the flat flitch way only, so mostly on lockout. Seem nice and stiff though and.pretty plush. Will give them more of a tune over the next couple of weekends.

Looking nice Rob... And liking the colour as well.. Be interested in how those hubs perform...

Great looking bike mate

Didn't see this lastnight
Also digging colour

Rude to ask how much build cost?

Rob, that looks Sweeeet.. Nice job

Not entirely sure, need to go through the receipts (have to do this anyway for insurance).
Not including any Quidco cashback:
Frame £99
Forks £305
Wheels £220
Cassette £25
Chain £20
BB: £20
Shifters: £53
Brakes: £141
Bars: £34
Seatpost: £22
Stem: £27
Grips: £10
Headset: £28
Front mech: £28

Already had the tyres, chainset, pedals, rear mech and saddle.

So just over £1000, hence why it took me so long to build, probably nearer £1200 if I include the parts I already had.
Only thing that's missing is a dropper post!

I need to buy some grips for my FS build...

Any recommendations? What did you get.. I'm thinking either blue with black fixings or vice versa as bike is blue frame with black components..

The ones I got were ODI Ruffians. Not sure about them yet, might be a bit too hard on my delicate hands . I think you should go for blue grips, although the colour never looks the same as the photos.

Superstar excel are lovely and soft

bike looks smart

I read they wear out really quickly though. I'll see how these go over the next couple of weeks.

Good job on this Rob, looks fricking Awesome!

Can i have a go?

but i hate the colour

Sure you can have a go if the post will go high enough!
