I have never, ever heard of a Chinese frame shipped without a UV protecting clear coat at the minimum.

That's good. I only asked because I've seen pictures of new matte frames that look like they have mold release on them. And Light Bicycle's Recon Pro rims say they come out of the mold in their finished state. That's probably not the same thing and they use a special epoxy with UV blockers. But it got me wondering...

We Are One carbon rims and bars also come out of the mold in their finished state, no need to use a UV protecting layer on them either. So the tech is out there for that stuff, just haven't seen it applied to frames. Yet.

What did he say, how far is it? Hard to make out exactly what they did without seeing the hardware.

Frame looks pretty good, but looks like it handles 27,5" wheels only, not 29"!

I have asked Eddy to check if it will take 27.5 + but they apparently don't have any 27.5 wheels to test with.  He's looking into it.

This frame is built to take both 27.5 and 29 correct?

Smallest frame size in some frames often don't do 700cc.

The 15" not taking them doesn't mean larger sizes won't.
