IMust 27.5+ full suspension frame
« on: July 21, 2016, 04:36:06 PM »
Has anyone seen or built up one of these frames? I did see it also on Pinkbike, someone from SoCal is selling them. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Nice looking frame.  Seems like it's new to the market.  Geometry is good, not too crazy about the graphics.  I really would not want a frame that says "Imust" on it, just seems tacky to me.  If I could get it without the graphics, it would be a compelling choice.  That is if I didn't already buy a new bike.

...Geometry is good...
What makes a good geometry?

For me it's geometry that is similar to other bikes that I have or have ridden and liked.

Not too steep of a head tube angle, good standover clearance, chains tags not too long.. for me at least. It comes down to personal preference but it takes a few years in the mtb game to learn what it is that's right for you.

And I actually like the graphics other than "imust" being kind of a silly name.. Looks good though imo

@Carbon_Dude, @JohnSpeed, thanks for the details.
The 041 frame is more like a blade you launch in a direction, the 062 is more twitchy/playful, while the 256 seats somewhere in between.
I thought there was some new kind of modern/best geometry all frames are going to tend to, but no, all subjective impressions, like the above :)

If you guys look at the pictures it would appear that the IMUST and all the other text and even the paint splatter is just a vinyl sticker that is lined up with the paint. There's a slight difference in color and you can sort of see an edge in the close up images. If you're interested in the frame I'd send the link to Peter and see if he can get it, and if not just know that you can probably remove those stickers with a little rubbing alcohol and elbow grease.

IMUST is the same company as ICAN. Go figure... Same manufacturer. I have personally spoken with them. Hope that helps.
