Hey guys,

how are you doing with your P9´s?


Been a while, but its definitely getting a lot more usage in the covid times. The bike itself is running great, absolutely no issues other than those I cause myself, so thanks for the help putting it together  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Very nice!!! Who did the graphics on the bike???

I don't know which bike to buy, turns out the P9 is not available in XL despite their website saying otherwise :(
I'm 190cm/6'3", would I fit on a Large??? She's also not selling 20" wheels with it :/
Other option is the S8, but the 170mm fork I got will probably ruin the geometry???

Thanks Chetos!!! That's 100 less than Allen is quoting me... So I'll take your deal if I can get it. Didn't realise they offer the shock too, it's a fair deal @240
Fork and Shimano gear all arrived today.... Getting excited!

Thanks guys, been really helpful so farit's coming along well so far I think.
Couple more questions, where to you buy your ICAN frames from? I'm currently dealing with Allen from icancycling.com
But I'm not sure if he's official or just some reseller adding margin.
Also having a hard time finding a good deal on 210x55 shock, how close does it have to be in each dimension???? Thanks guys!!!

Hey, another newbie here, was about to buy a polygon but then had a crazy idea to build my own, so a little help please :)
Currently ride a basic 29er, but think i might as well give it a shot of buying a  'real' bike. 6'3" /190cm, 205 pounds, 93kg. I don't do any crazy riding, just the local trails.

so questions?
Whats the recommended fork for a P9?
Merli has a deal on Rockshox Yari RC DebonAir Boost Forks 29", but only in 170mm, is that too long?
Any other frames you would recommend instead of the P9.
If i go ICAN, any recommendations for carbon wheels?
Am I crazy to build my own bike as a novice?

Shimano XT8000 groupset 1x11, 32f, or similar in sram.
What else do I need??? (seat dropper, headset, stem, handlebar, rubber, hangers, rear axel)
THANKS!!!
