Is this a Chinese frame?

[scourge]

If not, I would love to see a Chinese version of this frame. It looks pretty good.

Don’t see any visible picture here.

Dirtlabs frame, which is the american distributor for https://bikelab-inc.com/ .
I like it and they offer 3 versions with 3 different travels, i guess changing the small lower shock support to adjust for different sized shocks keeping the geometry (only available from the american ones, not the dutch).

So I guess it's not based on a Chinese frame. Too bad. It looks great.

Also sold as Transalpes C2, this frame seems to be a collaboration between Bikelabs and Trail supply AG/Transalpes.

The frame looks fantastic, but seem to be at regular retail prices. I'm here because I'm looking to save money. Otherwise, I'd be all over one of these.

Are they ashamed of the geometry?

Damn, that lower shock mount ain't pretty..

[scourge]

But it seems useful if it let's you adjust the bike's travel. I dig this bike. I just don't $2500 dig it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a bikes travel adjusted by the travel legnth of the shock? Changing the lower shock mount will only change the geo of the frame?

Yes but in this case that allows you to use a shorter / longer shock to give less or more travel whilst maintaining the geo.

Reach? Head tube angle? Seat tube angle? Chain stay length?

That's the way I understood the video.

Let's say the bridge is flat and takes a 200 x 55 shock. If you replace the bridge with one that has a 5mm bend down in it then you can fit a 205 x 60mm  shock increasing your travel but the bike hasn't changed in the static position,  or a 195 x 50 to reduce the travel if the bridge has a 5mm bend up.

Of course, I don't have the bike and I may have misunderstood the video but that is the way I understand it.
