It actually looks like a Revel Rail.

According to Adam, Carbonda has FM1003 Frames available for purchase, but medium size only. I'm waiting on the large. Sorry, I don't have any other info.

Has anyone purchased this frame yet?

From what Wing told me, they are still waiting on the full production run. There are only a handful of samples in Medium at the moment.

Pricing is $1150 if I remember correctly.

FYI

- 180mm Travel Front & Rear
- Only Size M in stock at the moment.  If you want another size, deposit of $100 USD and could take up to April or longer
- Wing not sure about fitting a Coil shock. Can check when Tech department is back

Going through the diagram drawings of the FM1003.  Rear shock specs = 205x65 = 180mm travel.  Is this correct for 180mm rear travel or have they made a typo?

FM1002 rear shock is 150mm- 200x60

That’s correct — or rather close, both shocks are 205 trunnion but have 60 and 65mm stroke respectively. The leverage ratios and curves on the two are a bit different.

Anyone have an idea what bike this frame is roughly based on?

I haven't seen any other bike like this. There might be some resemblance to the Nukeproof Giga which also uses a linkage driven single pivot design.

Have just placed an order for a 1003 frame 

A bit nervous and excited!

Will update everyone how It goes

That’s great news, can’t wait to see one built up and the question of 180 vs 190 front travel addressed (whether the handling is really optimal at 180 etc).

If my FM1002 ordered Dec. 29th last year is any indication, you’ll probably have it in less than a month.

Should I order/buy anything whilst I wait for the frame so it can make life little easier for building? 

Shock mounting bolts?
Seat post clamp?
Bottom Bracket?

These are small parts, you should get them anytime with no struggle.
Mounting Bolts should be a part of the Frame? But the Spacers for the shock mount might be needed (ask them directly, because there is no spec sheet of the frame right now).
Dont know how Carbonda is selling the frame. My Ican p9 had the derailleur hanger, Bottombraket & Headset included.
I mean if you get the parts like Shock, Fork, dropper post, wheels, shifter at great discount, then why not?

Which colourway options do you had? Did you ordered a RAW or colored frame?.
How much did you payed if iam allowed to ask?

Any news for the size L or XL frame? I want to retire the Ican p9 after this season. It would be the perfect candidate for new build comming winter.
