Hi all can i have your feelings on this from anyone who rides a 456 and what they think of it.And how they find on one to deal with.and what you think of a steel frame instead of a aluminium frame.Any of your pics of where your have taken your 456 would be nice.Only not sure about the raw finish on the 456 evo
Thanks

On one are very good to deal with from my experiance. also I have gone from alu to steel and I love it. I don't know anyone that has regreeted that move
love my summer season, she's very heavy and the rumours of steel been more forgiving seem to be a lie but she's as hard as nails and will be going to les arcs with me next week. there a bargin and the evo in raw looks amazing
The Geo is basically the same as the Ragley Blue Pig, funny that. (Same designer, a certain Mr Richards)
I have a Blue Pig (with 150mm Revs, Hope/Flow wheels, wide bars, short stem etc) and it is fantastic fun and it's light enough that you can ride it all day.
I ride the hillier bits of Leicestershire (yes there are some) as well as Wales and the Peaks and as long as there is incline and decline it's bang on, on flatter trails it takes a bit of bullying to get the best out of it though.
It's pretty similar to the Blue Pig. Seat angle a bit less steep on larger models. BB is 5mm lower to make it a bit more stable at speed and easier to get on and off.
The Raw finish is proving very durable, has a matt finish clear coat over it to protect it.
