Direct cups, you cant put an angleset on this, maybe with 9point8 slack-R you can, dont see a point going slacker than 65 degree. 160mm travel front , max 150 rear.

Agreed.... I've ridden a shitload of bikes, including many modern bikes with anywhere from 63.5 to 68 degree head tubes in the last year or so, and many, many more before that..... and I don't think head angle is actually as important/precise as people think it is. I could see someone maybe wanting a slight adjustment to go slacker than 65, but with the slack-r you have to drop it by over a full degree.

Aren't you people all talking about running 160mm forks on these? Won't that be slack enough?

[Bajker]

Running a 160mm fork will slacken the head & seat tube by 0.4 degrees.

[scourge]

Wait, it's 150mm rear now? I thought it was 140mm.

i hate to accuse anyone but it sure feels like a lot of the people that post in this forum are shills.  I don't know the game but with so many people with low post counts and enthusiastic responses or leading question it feels sort of suspect.

I'm low in posts because I don't like gossip. I like us, as a community to work together for the benefit of all. In this case, the user choose not to share his source but thankfully someone else stepped up and provided that which is awesome.

Agreed gents. 65 is ample. Just waiting to hear back from their end and hopefully I can process an order

Believe me, i have iron out some issue for future buyers.

Early adopters have to iron out some issues.it aint a software patch . I guess theres a few here which dont have the patience thus calling out a schill. 

It has come to a point these "open molds" aint open source anymore. There are supplier and there is the real manufacturer & behind that a designer/engineer which can make mistakes.

Everyone here ride a mtb.. Are you the type which helps on trail maintainance or the type which whines about the trail not manicured enough? Anyway..

Try reading my post again.. Take note of the points i've mention. Those points are my contribution.

Someone else will build this frame faster than i do..
No big deal to me but i do look forward to seeing it.

In no hurry to build this during the pendemic..alot of parts are sold out or in back order.

Ive got time

I know what you are saying. Someone spruiking Trifox again.  She is just learning about bikes but has posted pics of three different bikes she presumably owns, all Trifox.

Hi, hhhhh I just ordered a carbon frame from them, quality is good. The service people are very nice, and I like their paintings.
I am new here and just want to show some of my ideas and learn more about bikes, sorry about any inconvenience caused.

I haven't said this yet, thanks for sharing the info 

[Verbl Kint]

I posted geo calculations on page 19 of this thread for:

• Upforking to 160mm
• Upforking to 160mm and using a 27.5" rear wheel but still use a 29" front wheel (a.k.a "Mullet")

¨Hi This is a new frame, right now only S size is available.

Other sizes are coming in next year. thanks¨

[Jotegr]

That's weird, S only? Why go there first? I'm curious if that is a true to size S or if that is a Santa Cruz medium.

What merchant had S available? The others said M (actually large) was coming first.

Either way, that might be the size I'm after. We'll see.

¨Hi This is a new frame, right now only S size is available.

maybe JUNE 2021???

[CrownPerformance]

I enquired about buying one. Only size Small available. All sizes will be available March 2021.

[Gigelz]

Got the same reply. So lets wait another 6 month, no problem as long as they improve the build quality and get rid of the "kinks".
