The frame finally arrived at my house, the shipment was very fast (about ten days to France, without customs fees).
The finishes are very clean, the lines of the frame are pretty sharp and beautiful, for the assembly and the field test it will be in about ten days, I keep you updated  ;)

Frame is nice quality. Got it mocked up with a 140mm Recon.

Headset fits nicely and all the internal carbon work looks clean.

Only complaints are a few minor paint blemishes and the water bottle cage mounts are crooked.

Clearly inspired on the scott spark without the rear shock. Not sure about the robustness of that design though....Load handling on those top pivot points. :o

Mine is finally assembled, everything was done very easily, this is the first time that I have really had no problem assembling a bike.  I will take some photos today to present the bike to you, even if it is nothing extraordinary.  I find it beautiful despite everything!

I picked up the BXT branded set on eBay when I bought my frame.

Looking like another week until wheels arrive for my build.

Size L frame (I didn't weigh it Mea Culpa), GX AXS groupset, X1 Dub crankset, carbon wheels fitted by me with internal 29mm Light-Ride rims (there I have my rear gravel wheel in the meantime  to change the ratchet on the other), Sid SL Select fork, 80mm/740mm carbon handlebar-stem combo, SRAM level ultimate brakes, Elita One seatpost and carbon saddle.
 Weighed at 9.25kg, the assembly was very easy and the frame finishes are very clean.
 I haven't been able to test it properly yet, I'll come back to give a more substantiated opinion but for the moment I find it very nervous, no doubt thanks to its oversized bottom bracket, the geometry is great, you feel well centered on  the bike, and the rear triangle seems to filter vibrations well, which is very pleasant.
