Welcome, Kazer..

It'd be helpful if you could provide a link, but the 036 is a well known frame and lots of guys have built up some very nice bikes with that frameset and have nothing but positive things to say about it. Most of the sellers are selling the same frames so don't get too caught up in the name, just try to find a seller with a good track record. Around here we usually recommend Peter from Carbon Speed:

I assume this is the frame you were looking at? What price was TanTan sports asking?

Btw, here's a thread featuring a very nice 036 build:

hey thanks for answering..

saw it from aliexpress
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/SERAPH-29er-carbon-inner-cable-disc-brake-full-suspension-frame-FM036/32464456673.html?spm=2114.01020208.3.2.8OySLm&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_1_79_78_77_80,searchweb201644_5,searchweb201560_9

I've been in contact with peter that past week, the problem is that it would take 20-25 working days for a XL frame to be delivered.

tantan sports priced it at 680 usd... and the size is already available (atleast I hope its real)

and they told me that the frame wwas made by flybike, which is based on my research is the source of hongfu and other frame makers..

Yeah, if they have your size in stock I'd probably pull the trigger with them rather than waiting the extra month. Although, I do feel a bit more reassured ordering from Peter, I wouldn't want to wait a month and most likely there will be no issues with TanTan Sports.

Hi there, I ordered a fm036 in ud matte and it was great, as expected. I can definitely recommend the Seraph frame.
