I am considering the purchase of one of the three below~
Orange Crush 650b @ £1100 (2014)
One 456 650b Steel Frame @ £999
One one 456 Evo Carbon 26inch Wheels @ £999
But on the last option i cant find a single review good or bad any body purchased one plus what are your thoughts on the above 3.... I already have a full suss 650b beast but just fancy a different option on some rides.....
I've got a c456 evo. Wrote a short review on here. In a nutshell I really like it. It's better the faster you go. It's taken a while to get used to it from previous bikes. It is stiff though so I use 2.4" tyres and that makes it a bit more comfy. I've not tried but I think you could easily get 650b wheels in there - especially if you change the dropouts for the slot ones.
Ride is best with 140mm forks Ive found.
Almost bought another to build up differently.
In taunton if you want to try it out, 16" though.
Got a c456 evo with 150mm pikes on. Very stiff rear which takes a bit of getting used to given my other bike is 165mm rear travel. It's not super light for a carbon frame but it feels bombproof. I agree that it gets better the faster you ride it. I like the long top tube, low standover and slack headangle too.
i always assumed the C456 Evo was 650B.
Huh, learn something every day.
