Got one in almost new condition for less than £100 on eBay for the missus to try out riding.

Anyone used one for serious riding? Looking to put everything off my 456 evo onto there but want to see if it's worth it before I do!

Plan is 100ml Reba rlt's, pacenti/superstar wheels, 2x10 etc.

Wind-up thread?

Just in case it's not, leave the OEM kit on it, fit some decent tyres, make sure the brakes are well set up, and go for a ride. If your Mrs gets the bug, let her choose her own frame and put your fancy kit onto that.

No wind up, it's bloody heavy and the forks are a waste of time. Rather than flog it straight away, I was going to use the frame to put all my spare bits on to see if she got the bug before splashing out on a new frame.

Not really fancy kit, we're moving house and 1 of my 4 bikes has to go so the 456 got the short straw.

Well in that case, as I say, I don't see what can be gained from putting the 456 kit on it. Lipstick on a pig.
