do you thinks there is a micro flex effect?

With seatstays inserted this low on the seat tube, there will probably be a slight filtering effect.
Personally, I ordered it yesterday in size L, there are about ten days of production + around 3 weeks of shipping to France, so I can get back to you by the end of January.

Salut compatriote !  ;)
I'm also curious about the build quality of this frame, usually I only take frames from reputable generic "brands", I've always found BXT a good cut below, but this one looks really nice  .

what would be the set up / components for the bike.
I'm a little bit worried about the chain stay length that is 445 mm, maybe too much?

I'm not too worried about the chainstay length, I've had a frame with this one before and really didn't feel any difference with a 435mm chainstay frame for example.  It will leave more room for the tires so it's not bad. 
For the transmission I have a SRAM GX AXS groupset, Sid SL Select fork, carbon handlebar-stem combo, Elita or Reverb AXS seatpost depending on the terrain, Light-Ride carbon wheels with Goldix hubs (1205g), SRAM level ultimate brakes  .

I ordered one on Ebay yesterday. Not sure when it will arrive but will be running it with a 140mm fork.

it looks clearly inspired by the Scott Spark, eccept this does not have a rear suspension.

Can't wait to see what you think, Robin.  Very unique look and I'm interested.
