I know On-one Inbred is good VFM but what/who makes a good slackish HT frame in XS - 13 or 14" for the same money?
Project build for daughters birthday.
As you say you'll be pushed to find anything as good value as this

I love mine
Commencal El Camino. [s]There were some available direct a while ago.[/s] Just had a look - none now 🙁
The stw inspired 'rush' recently must have cleared them out.
I have got a 16" On one scandal hanging from the garage wall - which sounds a bit large but it is 13" center to center if I recall so the stand over is pretty good.
mail me if interested 🙂
My 9 year old 4'11' rides a 16" Onone Whippet for reference

? Cheap but not very slack looking..
what's the difference between a 456evo and Inbred?
they also have;

Inbred is 100mm to 120mm travel.
456 is 100mm to 150mm travel forks. Much slacker.
I have a one off Zero TR in baby blue that might suit the bill- Slack and low... email me on ben@birdmtb.co.uk if you're interested. Will be a bit more than an inbred, but a one off in a great colour (and much lighter too!).
Not particularly slack, but 13" and £91 delivered.

So Daughter #2 got her Cube Access and I built it up with SLX and a set of Marzocchi ZE forks - very happy wee bunny...

Currently building an Inbred for/with my lad, but can't see him having the balls to ride those steps just yet!
Mind you, my kids frequently amaze and - sometimes - delight me....
Kids bounce... I definitely make a "thud" nowadays with little to no rebound.
What headset did you use OP?
Still to start building the one I got for the girlfriend
I used a ritchey zero logic 1 1/8.
I also got HT II and Alivio cranks for the weight, but smaller cranks are available if you use sq taper.
Other wise it's a great looking bike, I'll get a better shot off it and post up.
Not sure on sizing but have you looked at the Dartmoor Primal/ Hornet?
Really nicely made alu frames and pretty cheap too.
Slam69 is their Uk importer. The Dartmoor site has all the sizing/ geo info.
