100mm Hardtail frame recommendations

[wilbo83]

Have been slowly upgrading an old hardtail I have and would like to buy a new frame and transfer the parts over. Had considered the On One Inbred as budget is £200 Max. What else should I be considering at this price? 26" only and ideally want it as an all rounder but mainly for local trails (swinley forest)

Today Planet X started a bundle sale Inbred frame is £199 but you also get, bars, stem, headset, seat post, seat, seat collar, grips.

£25 more buys a 456 Evo, same bundle. I love my 456Ti Evo.

Funnily enough, it was that exact email that got me looking more seriously about making a decision soon. Although I have bought most of those parts already for the build (but agree its a great deal).

It's such a good deal I was thinking 45650b just for the hell of it.

Well, I was doing quite well not spending...

Just ordered the On-One Inbred 26er bundle to replace my Voodoo Hoodoo

Fancied a Steel Hardtail for a while, was looking at Cotic frames but a bit pricey at moment.

Has your frame arrived? You pleased?

Think I have decided to go for the Inbred, can't find anything to match it for the price and been looking at various builds on the following link (was the best I could find with lots of pics) and they look great. Will just use some of the 'free' parts in the bundle that I don't need to upgrade on my other hardtail.

Just can't decide between black


or taichung green (will be running orange z1s too)

Totally forgot about this. Having never had a Steel Frame there are a few points I'm not keen on. After a few washes, I have noticed rusty water leaking from various bits. Also, I think the rear IS brake mount has been welded on wonky. No matter what I try, the rear pads are catching the disc on the outside pad. There is no more adjustment to move it.

It only affects the bottom of the caliper, the top is fine. I'm actually thinking of transferring all my good parts to the Hoodoo frame until I can buy a Bird Zero.

The other issue from new was I didn't realise my BB shell threads needed chasing and destroyed the first cups I tried to install. Emailed and phoned One-One and never got a reply, lesson learned.
