SPCYCLE SP-M09
« on: May 19, 2019, 02:14:45 PM »
Looking to build something around a 120mm fork.  Cannot seem to find a single thing about this frame.  I like the 110 rear travel and lightweight aspect.  68 HTA is nice as well.  Anybody here have any insight?

About geometry, for me reach is way too short (413mm for the medium).
The average reach on xc bikes is around 430mm for medium size and now the trend is going to even more enduroed geometry around 450mm reach (new mondraker, new pivot,...).

About suspension, that's a classical 4 bar linkage like the old specialized epic, active on small bumps but probably more sensitive on pedaling.

I prefer the workswell m-145 which is very similar with same suspension design, nearly identical geometry but with a longer reach.
