Morning everyone (I'm finally on a real keyboard!). Thanks again to Chinertown for organizing this drawing and to Peter from CarbonSpeed for the price.
Now the story
It will sound strange but... I "knew" I would win. I can't explain that, I just knew. As I had explained on this forum I'm on the market to replace my current 29er frame for a proper 27.5+ compatible frame (to match the HR740C I bought from CarbonSpeed). My short list was CS-M04 and CS-496. Ideally, I want a mix of these frames (Full-sus of M04 but short chainstay of 496, and ideally a bit more rear travel - maybe 120mm). So, my final selection was... CS-M04. I collected approval from the boss (my wife) last week to place an order. And... I knew I should wait, that something would happen. So I pushed on this drawing so that I can finalize my order and... this happens!
Last night I thought about what I should be doing and now I know
. I'll be building this frame for the next season (I'll really start the assembly in September as I'll be off most of August). I'll make sure to report on my build and how that frame compares to my FR-202 (that will be a disc road bike before the winter). Then hopefully, in 12-18 month, a new Full-sus frame with a bit more travel will be available for 27.5+.
For those interested in disc road bike, I'll report progress on this project as well in the road bike section. I have already open a topic there.
OK, I can place my order to Peter now, I've got a lot more then the frame to order
I can't wait to start building these 2 bikes, road and 27.5+
