  • solid build. and good looking colorwise.

    the pink one with the blue elox parts is my fave so far.

    had to do my own version with those ritchey bars.

  • brake holes are a bit strange... can't use the brakes when wheels is in most forward position...

  • Looks good. What are the bars?

    Edit: Ritchey Kyote?

  • Yeah looks really good. Care to post a side view?
    Dibs when you sell etcetc

  • Isn’t that because of the spacers between the adapter and the brake?

  • just had to take what was there. stem is not final.

  • just really tight. nothing to do with the bb7 as i can tell so far.
    180mm disc for now works ok. edit: in the pic it is a 160mm disc.

  • Zooming in suggests that might be a front IS mount adaptor - "F180". Front and rear IS adaptors aren't identical...

  • that might be true. but the main problem is that the adapter and the brake hit the seatstays.
    as said for now it works ok with the 180mm disc.

  • Sure - but I think my point still stands; a rear adaptor is a different shape, which ought not to hit the seatstay, and which should position the caliper such that it doesn't hit them either.

  • What's this colour changing wizardry towards and including the head tube?
    It looks to be titanium?

  • yes, it's the ti inbred. my guess 2009. 2010 they allready had the gusset/pipe between seat- and chainstays (NDS). bought 2nd hand. like i did understand they did this to the frame.

  • Many ragrets selling my SS 26er for pittance, it was so much fun.
    CK HS & BB, Crabon bars, cheap wheels, £10 frame.


  • Front and rear IS adaptors aren't identical...

    Maybe the case for some brands but lots are sold as f180/r160.

  • This looks awesome. No such thing as a £10 inbred frame any more I don't think.

  • Yeah it was stupid fun, although I should have added a chain tensioner as aligning disc and axle was a PITA. Frame was a bike jumble gem though; I sold the bike about 5 years ago.

  • good one. 26inch looks much better proportion wise.

  • ah, in which case, my bad. Hmmn. No idea, in that case...

  • Although - an old STW thread about (steel) Inbred issues points out that Shimano F180s and R160s aren't quite the same (unlike some brands which may allow you to use both) - and mentions the front adaptor needing shimming out by 1mm, away from the stays, towards the wheel.

  • Nice that Inbred Ti29er. I have one of these frames. Bought new in 2007. They really are a fantastic riding bike. I have kept it down the years as it rides so nice. Had it sent back to Lynskey under warranty to be repaired twice (cracks on headtube junction and wishbone stay) . Even sold it, regretted that and bought it back.

    Aside from the lovely polished and coloured frame mine has a few very subtle differences. Tubes the same but drop outs and cable routing different.

    I seem to remember when they came out the issue with rear caliper clearance on larger rotors was mentioned. Especially with BB7s. I think they said 140/160 rear only because of that.

    Edit: Yes it was because most brakes in those days were still IS mount (eg Hope Mono Minis), BB7s were some of the first post mount brakes.

  • when you finally going to build it up!

  • Ha ha I need some forks, and to be injury free. All my bikes, except the Town Crier, are in boxes in bits. It will happen.....
