I am looking at building a new hill climb bike cause I have a wild hair somewhere and I am trying to find a Aethos like frame set.  I know the Elves vynar (?) is out there.  I also see that light carbon have a 850g rim brake frame.  are there any others out there in the sub 800g range?

I have my frame and a in the process of building it up.   Where are you guys getting spacers for the rear shock?  I have 9mm on either side of the lower shock and I am not able to source anything.  Should I just make my own?

Got this ordered up along with the new 914 hard tail.  Finally getting my own frame instead of building bikes for friends.   a little trick to build your N+1 collection is 2 frames will fit in one box.  so shipping is less per frame then. 

Has anyone gone with the superlight frame version?  very curious what that one comes in at in real life.

I just placed an order for it.  They said the details will be up on the website soon.  Pretty standard geo with 69 degree HA, 27.2 seatpost, has flat mount rear brake mount but they supply a post mount adapter.  It has the knock block style headset of course and press fit BB. Size large frame is listed as 1200g. 

Looks great man. How do you compare the ride between the two?

The 947 is very much an enduro frame.  I live in a flat state so only had it out a few times to one of 2 lift served parks in the state. It soaked up everything I threw at it with ease.  Very impressed with how well it did. Hoping to get it out west and take it on some serious downhill.  We don't have anything that is long enough to push suspension or brakes.  The 958 has really shocked me. Rides and handles like a 100-110mm bike bit of things get rowdy I have the extra travel there.  I think the 34mm chassis fork makes a big difference.  My normal XC bike is a 100mm with 32mm stanchions and the extra stiffness is noticed right away.   They are definitely two different tools for 2 different jobs.  But very happy with both.

Here is my open mold fleet.  Hard tail, 100/100 xc, 130/130 LCFS958, 160/160 LCFS947

A friend of mine has this on order.  I will try to get some pics when it comes in.   

I reached out to light carbon on this before I made my own fix and was very politely told that it was with in spec.   If anyone else gets the same response and want to go down the path I took let me know.  I have extra bar stock and can make you one.  Just PM me.
