The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread!

[elgaucher]

Anyone got their AM831 frame already?


Excited to see post on your build updates! 

I don’t thin we’ll see them before July unfortunately not sure how production is going at this point but I don’t want to get my hope to high yet

[Confused]

.... the custom wheelset I'm pricing out are sure adding up 

Thanks for all of the discussion and help posted here, I'll share my build as I go!

Have you checked out LightCarbon for your wheels?

I think they should be just around the corner. Got a quote from another seller on alibaba who said the frame would be on my doorstep in 1 month if I ordered today.

That’s good news ! You guys think we’ll get a tracking number once it’s shipped ?

I'm not sure which i'd prefer more, lol.  Getting a tracking number and impatiently waiting for it to get here, or just one day a big box on the door step?

I would prefer the tracking so I can be at home the day it arrives, had my fair share of stolen packages sadly

[Gigelz]

i don´t think that we will see the frames soon

Same.

I don't know if this is new, but I saw WindowSports has some close-ups of the frame posted: http://www.winowsports.com/product/dual-suspension-150mm-travel-AM-Frame.html

Even that posting says 150mm travel, then later in the same posting says 140mm. This is making it hard to figure out if I need to get a 150mm fork or 160mm fork. I'm leaning towards 150mm, but I'm just not sure. I'd like to have the fork here when the frame gets here.

Hmm I think a mara pro would actually fit looking at this. Hopefully someone we’ll have his soon and can measure piggy back clearance with a super deluxe so I can know how much more room there is.

At least we know it’s 100% bb92. I’ll probably get a wheelsmfg BB then,

What do you think about this one then?  It sounds very promising:  https://www.competitivecyclist.com/wheels-mfg-bb86-92-shimano-bottom-bracket-with-abec-3-bearings-threaded?CMP_ID=PD_GOc014BR&CSPID=0916&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PSBR&k_clickid=_k_Cj0KCQjwzYGGBhCTARIsAHdMTQySZZSgs_lhYp9Lz6yVNi4YlJJhFLLl_34VpVij5XJPKDNqfFqL1lIaApkiEALw_wcB_k_&utm_id=go_cmp-1594365579_adg-58724162045_ad-442975611088_dsa-538846107067_dev-c_ext-_prd-&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzYGGBhCTARIsAHdMTQySZZSgs_lhYp9Lz6yVNi4YlJJhFLLl_34VpVij5XJPKDNqfFqL1lIaApkiEALw_wcB

yup that's exactly what I was thinking of getting

[Mikey12345]

The reviews on that bb look very hit or miss. I'd much rather just cough up the extra $50 for Shimano.

[helldan211]

Do you think the Sram Dub will be as good as the shimano? I'm probably buying the Sram GX Eagle Carbon crankset.
