i trust Carbonda post-sales support, i'm expecting the new FM909 will be supported like previous models.
at 1800 gr in L size is 330 gr lighter than the Lexon Riot.  8)

DESMOCHEEE!!!

And also with a much more current geometry.

Don't get me wrong. I was very interested in this frame. In the end, there were a bunch of factors that made me choose the riot over this one. A lot of it has to do with parts that i had that would fit the riot, and not this frame, purchase price, availability, and to an extent the weight (or rather the unknown of the reliability). If a year from now, the frame looks solid, then I may revisit. for now, I'll let others be the guinea pigs.  ;), I've saved a lot of weight on all my parts so that I'm ok with putting some meat on the frame.

Not the person you were asking but I think I'm going to try the internal bar routing thing. My current plan is to use some Maguras. You can purchase a fitting to change the hose exit angle. TrickStuff Piccola would be my preference but I'm not made of money :'(

Besides you are not made of money the leadtime for Trickstuff is also quite exclusiv: 18 months!  :o
What kind of handlebar will you use?

That's nice colour shading.
My frame is also painted.  8)
Yes its rather a dark frame on the overview photo. Translucent color on black can't be very bright   ;).
The carbon blue raw effect is even more beautiful as I expected. In the top tube there is even a small weave part visible  ;D, although I didn't expect that.
 
This is more the kind of effect the rider itself can see and from distance it is not so pronounced. Since I am the rider, that's exactly what I wanted.

My frame comes in size S. Just if somebody asks.

Both frames, yours and azuzu501's look amazing !

I have the color ral 3016. Now I am looking at my photo and probably would like to make ral 3020, but it's too late (

Exactly the way you described it the other week, except maybe for that section of weave.  Looks really good. More pics please when you get it in your hands.

Ehrm.. Katie sent me some pictures and a short video sequence and I said  "yes! Exactly like this". Yours is very different?

Yes it came out really great. The small areas with the weave are the ( unexpected)  cherry on top.
 8) I will do photos once it is here. According to the current situation this won't be very soon.  If it arrives before Christmas that would be really amazing .. so I could use the vacation for the build. But let's see.
