On One 456 Evo - horizontal / slot dropout?

[novocaine]

Just to clarify, did they or did they not have sliding dropout on the 456? Sorry, I am a bit confused Also, you are certain it is an Evo 2? How can some see the difference?

456 had the same wishbone as an inbred. Evo ii had the fancy one.

The carbon 456 has sliding drop outs. They did that on early inbreds too.

Retrofitted dropouts and brace by the look of things. That's not production. Nice tho!

It seemed like a decent build:
Mavic XM319 Disc 26 wheels

front Shimano Slx hub

Shimano Alfine 8 gear hub gear

Rockshox XC 30 TK fork

Shimano Deore XT Hydraulic disc brake

52 frame height
All this for 330 euros

Interesting extra support around on the non-drive side chainstay, also those zip ties cracked me up

if it's retro fitted it's done to an exceptionally high standard.
just noticed the chain tensioner too, that's a nice touch.
I'm leaning towards test mule or in house one off for a staffer. perhaps @Daveloughran could shed some light on it?

With the custom paint i think it's an alteration from Vert, properly brazed by someone with a frame jig.

I don't think on- one make frames in house?
In which case it's not likely to be factory.

early prototypes were done in house I believe. Once they got setup with a good builder in Taiwan though it was all done out there, including prototyping. I agree it isn't factory, but prototype or show piece?

It's still lovely though.

In that case I succeed to those with more knowledge.
