So I finally finished my OG-Evkin CF-052 frame  10,2 kg without bottlecages and pedals

Edit: Because of a bad alignment of the BB shell the frame has developed a crack above the BB. Getting the seller to honour the warranty is proving nearly impossible after a month of false promises and long silences. I really advise against OG-Evkin.

My Tantan FM199 Boost. Comes in about 11.5kg with certain specific component choices that do add weight, like the dropper post, the cheap wheels, and pedals.

Just completed my first chiner build using mostly left over bits from previous builds.  I must admit it's insanely efficient on the climbs and a great bit of fun overall.  I felt an overwhelming throwback vibe from the hardtail era of the 90s and hope this will be a great option for climbing days and PR attempts.

Hi everyone. I am new to MTB building. I have just started building my bike up and have discovered that the rear wheel isn't centered in the rear drops. Is that normal, or do I need to do something to fix it. Sorry for my lack of knowledge. Totally green.

You may be able to have a bike shop alter the dish of the wheel as long as you have adjustment left at the spoke nipple interfaces.  Looks to be shifted to the left side so an asymmetric rim could also be a solution, those are the only ones I build because you can build in an improved bracing angle on the drive side.

Was on the fence about this frame or a few others I had shortlisted, I think you may have just made my mind up. That looks great 

Where did you order it from and what other parts did you use?

I would really advise against getting anything from OG-Evkin. I have a cracked BB (after only 500km) so I asked about warranty and the seller (OG-Evkin Official Store) is very uncooperative.
It has been going on for more than a month now but is is just a series of false promises and long silences from their side. Very frustrating They have been promising a new frame for weeks but nothing concrete... I have mails Aliexpress customer service 2 times and it looks like they are a little more prone to answering the days after that.
The latest communication was last week and they said it would be shipped this week (they have been saying that for weeks. I will have to pay for shipping). They have not been answering messages since then so I am not getting my hopes up. If things would change I will keep you updated.
