My frames came! i can confirm that headtube spacer is needed. Also i have sram bb92 and they work just fine. coil shock most definitely will not work.

All of the frames need the head tube spacer or just the small?

Can you make a pic of that opening in seattube? And measure it's height and width?
Thanks.

I was able to stick my entire dropper all the way to the collar which measures 10" (254mm)  That is with a little room to spare i am pretty sure. 31.9mm wide opening.
ps that is with a 150mm mm dropper with full insertion.

Did you guys had a tracking number ? Not sure I’m what number on the list but I’m getting nervous it shows up without me knowing and getting stolen

Why won't a coil work? Opening not big enough for a piggyback?

Width of the opening to the rear mount, similar to the real HT.

Yes the opening isn't large enough for the coil.  When eddy shipped the frames he sent me a shipping number via email.

Thank for confirming that a tracking is provided. Now that we sure know a coil isn’t an option, do you think a manitou mara pro that has a really long piggy back would fit ?

Here is some more photos including rough measurements of the shock tunnel and fork clearance. The fork is a 150mm 51mm offfset Pike for reference. I'm still need to buy a few more parts before I can really start to build it up. Overall the frame looks really good!

In the new group buy thread, the photos Eddy posted have a chain stay protector. Did your frame come with one?

As you can see the photos. None. Just headset bb and rear axle
