Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"

[jefflinde]

Frame arrived and I have it built up.  frame weight for those that care was 3600g.  the build was by far the simplest I have ever done.  the ICAN frame has internal guide tubes for the cable routing so I just had to push it in one end and it popped out the other.  even the dropper cable routing is tubes so no messing around with the cable and the foam sleeve junk.  only thing left is the shock mount.  the shock came with a 22mm bushing so i had to order the 8x15mm bushing from Offset.  total build weight is 16.1 kg.   

Forks: SR Suntour Durolux 38 180mm
Shock: SR Suntour Voro with Cane Creek Valt progressive coil
Drive Train: XT M8100 Group set
Brakes: XT M8120 
Rotors: Shimano MT800 203/203mm
Wheels: Dt Swiss EX 511/ MT900 hubs
Stem: PRO Tharsis CNC 55mm 
Seat Post Clamp: PRO
Grips: Wolftooth Fat Paw Carve
Bar: PRO Tharsis 3Five 20mm rise
Pedals: XT M8100 
Dropper: Crank Brothers Highline 150mm
Tires: F Schwalbe Tacky Chan 2.4/ R Schwalbe Big Betty 2.4
Valve: Amazon specials
Saddle: PRO Stealth Offroad 

Couple more things like bar end plugs and new rim decals will finish the bike off completely.  I am having issues with pictured but once I get that sorted I will get them uploaded.

Here it is minus the shock.  hopefully the rim decals come in soon so i can get rid of that red on there.

Hey, if somebody wants to see the FM1003 in real action on video, then here is a link to my testing video.

If somebody does not like that I am kind of promoting my channel, just PM me or write it in here, and I will take the link down.

Is anyone aware of a similar style frame but for 160mm travel fork?
Or would it probably work out to take this frame with 160mm fork and 27.5 rear wheel to build a mullet with kind of proper geometry?

there are lots of 160mm frames out there.  what about this frame are you looking to find in a 160?

Basically a pretty clean and simple design with horizontal mid-shock, 150mm rear travel, low weight, nice geometry.
I am looking at the Lexon Spark for a while, but the geometry seems to be pretty random and not really comparable to similar style brand bikes.
