Is it wrong that I really want the Pink one?!? I don't even really get the steel craze, but only £135 and it looks mint! I think the old n+1 rule is kicking in again.
After all I am missing a hardcore hardtail from my bikes at the moment , might have to think about that for a long term project....

I was pondering the pink one, but I don't think I'm man enough to carry it off! So went for the brown one!

I have an on one inbred and I'm looking at the 456 due to wanting a nice burly frame to run 120mm forks on. But I can't bleeding decide on what size! I'm 6ft 1 with a 33.5" inside leg.

I'm 6ft4 and went for the 20", You're kind of in between both sizes? If in doubt, give them a bell or email.

seriously contemplating a pink one, but it will clash horribly with the red ano parts... so probably not.

Anyone like to comment on how a 456 rides with a 100mm (reba) fork?
I don;t plan on buying a new fork just yet (maybe revs in the future!)

Go for a 20", i used to ride 20" it was great. I'm 6'. Or if you want to be really clever, break the trend and but a pipedream sirrus instead. Everyone has an On-One...

I think 18" is the way to go. My 20" inbred uses a 400mm seatpost, and even with my seat at the proper height I've still got about another 100mm left in frame. I think with 18" it'll be more "flickable."
