Lol. I'm a shill now. You need to relax, buddy.

I read winnowsports was acknowledged on page 21 of the "Chinese Santa Cruz/AM831" thread. Upon re-reading it, out was zilcho saying that, not you. Still it's a different company, so maybe it will be different, maybe not.

Also I never saw your asking where I'm from. The last message I saw from you was confirming that the Reverse components angle spacer should help the problem. That message was at the start of a second page of PMs. I never saw your other reply until you mentioned it now and I looked back at the last message on the end of the first page.

My name is Rick and I'm from St. Louis, Missouri. You want any other info? I've got nothing to hide. Take off your tinfoil hat.

I don't think an IS version of a steering limited headset exists
The acros bloc lock is press in cups, with the limiter in the top cup and after preload, the top dust seam get tightened onto the steerer.
No mods would be needed to install this in a zs44/zs56 head tube. No frame parts like treks solution.

I thought this bike was IS and not ZS, as most chiners I've seen IRL use IS headsets.

If its ZS then no problem, you can use the acros system as an expensive solution, or the 10mm lower press in cup that rocky mountain makes which you can likely get for close to free from a local rocky dealer - I know mine has dozens of the things sitting around.

I'd just thought the bike was IS is all.

I see, my bad. Just looking at the blueprint for the 1166 frame and its 52mm top and bottom. So you're right, looks to be IS, but with a 52mm upper that means it would be internal cable compatible.
Generally not a fan of IS headsets though as I  feel like it'd be easier to be out of tolerance that zs. Actually I know of one person that's had 2x Evolve frames with wacky headset machining. I've even had it with a big brand Taiwanese made frame.

Thanks for you guys of the supporting.

We have not got the 50 sets order, so the price we offered 30sets Groupbuy USD540/set.
And if not reached 30sets, we would also keep the price for these guys who have pre-paid the order.

And the pre-paid order would be ending on the 20th April.
The price would be USD699/set not included shipping fee for one set once the groupbuy order ended.

Thanks, so if still got anybody want to join us, please feel free to contact me by email.

Best regards
Have a ncie day.

Do we even know what the spacing in the bb is going to look like?  What is that offset going to look like?

Did everyone else who placed an order have to pay a $30 paypal fee? I want to make sure I'm not the only one.

I was wondering why the quoted price and the PayPal invoice was $30 different. I have not paid yet though.

I'd probably be OK to pay the paypal fee - if you dont and use gifts and not g&s you don't get buyer protection.

I'm not complaining about it. I think it's still a good deal. It's just this is my first Chinese frame purchase and didn't know if this was a thing. Wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one.

watching this thread from day one i am almost ready to pull trigger...few questions..
Is it BSA73 or PF92?
Where is color list?
Will custom tax be paid in advance so the frame will come to my door without hustle with customs?
Shipping in EU around 150ish right?

Here is the BB info from Haideli website. Would the good to confirm though. The headset standard is also unknown.
