Given 68.5° head tube angle, how do you guys think the handling will change compared to 36?

Compared to 036 it will be a rocket on descent but slower to turn on flat and a bit more difficult to climb too. That's why you'll probably need to get handlebar low to put weight on front axle or putting a 51mm offset fork but i never tested this option.
On the frame itself i find the main pivot seems low to achieve a good antisquat with big chainrings and i would like to know how will the carbonflex pivot affect the suspension.

Given that we know how little testing or engineering goes into Chiner designs (or at least we perceive little testing/engineering) it does concern me as well how the flex will effect the rear suspension. I guess the only way to know is to actually build one and perform our own scrutineering. If it doesn't work as desired one would be out $700 - $800 bucks on the experiment???

Found another 29er that looks interesting! I was searching on Yishun Bike's site looking for carbon rims and found this: LCFS902. It's similar to the Dengfu M06 but has the pivot point near the rear axle. Might be a little more conventional than having a fixed triangle? Just a thought. Take a look at the specs and comments are requested ;D
