Test ride feel please :) Who will be first? Every those frames looks fantastic. I hasitate between this and FM936.

As soon as I have it mounted, I will review its behavior and its weight.

Why not?

Since XTR brake hose are forward (outward) direction, I am thinking is it easy to go into handlebar.

Using Magura lever with 40° or 90° banjo fitting should give you a "cleaner" routing of the brake hose.
This kind of banjo fitting is not available for Shimano levers...
Anyhow this is only working for the rear brake or how are planning to route the hose through the frame
for the front brake?

I have XT levers here. From my Giant also with XT I thought that the angle should be okay to fit into the handlebar port. They are located in quite some distance to the lever. However if this is not working I will change to Shigura  ;).

How many people are running this frame with 120mm fork?  That would slack out the HTA to 66deg.  Which is slacker than my current 130/140mm trail bike.  Curious how ppl find it with 120mm.  Also I did notice the BB drop is pretty low on this bike, so the 120mm can help raise the BB.

Google the fm936... or have a look here in the neighbor thread.
It has the same geometry and there are a lot 120mm builds. Also look for the NS synonym.

Hi i ordered my frame and wait patiently. Meanwhile, I'm trying to order parts. I'm having trouble finding a 30.9 carbon seatpost. Do you know any good ones from China?
