FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame

Setup as a mullet, I got these angles. Not exact of course but correspond more or less to the geo chart.

How does it ride as a mullet setup?

[Freda]

It is not ready yet so cannot say, but it seems quite slack for trail riding. I will ride it in the next few days.
I think I will try a 29” rear at some point, that seems more logical, better angles and better rollover.

Hi I had to use 8x25.9mm + 2 washers to make it fits, but this way it fits perfect!

Are people still saying the geometry chart for this bike is not correct? What is the correct head tube angle and reach (medium)?

Here is my bike-build. Made my own logo and painted myself. 
Running NX drivetrain, Fox 34, Fox DPX2 and SLX brakes. Very happy with the bike so far.

Nice, have you weighed it by any chance?

14.3 kg as in picture. It is a XL-frame. Next project is a set of carbon-wheels to get of some weight. The ones I have are very heavy...

Yesterday I took my first longer ride. The bike feels really good. Climbs so much better than my 2012 Specialized epic

Not sure, is it a picture of your bike or your car 
Have fun with it !

This is the perfect Porsche for this forum

(Just jesting though and yanking your chain, I'd rather drive your 928 than my mazda5)

For anyone that is riding this frame, does there feel like much flex or does it feel stiff?

Also, is there much pedal bob? Can you run the shock open or do you ever feel the need to flip lever to medium/pedal position, assuming it's there?

is it XL size? what is your height?

[Freda]

is it XL size? what is your height?

It is L size, I am 179cm and inseam around 83-84cm. Fits me very good with a 50mm stem. It seems sizing is very small, normally I am between M and L size but with this I was thinking L or XL.

Not much flex at all. There is some pedal bob but not so much, mostly when standing. I probably would use the lockout on transfers, but since the shock is upside down it is hard to reach and the bike is efficient enough anyway. Having the shock upside down is a really stupid idea, no benefits, hard to reach lockout and rebound adjustments are hard to do depending on the shock used.
