WW-062 = Specialized Stumpjumper carbon hardtail
Find one of those to demo and you'll know what the 062 rides like.

Many of these bikes copy the geometry of the Scott Scale, which my wife has and has been riding and racing for years now. She rode the 041 whose geometry is a number-by-number copy, and found it both harsher and slower than the Scale. Copying the geometry doesn't copy the ride, so I wouldn't project that a test ride of the Stumpy HT would translate directly to the Chiner copy. That doesn't mean the Chiner's a bad bike, but it might set you up for some disappointment if you expect a 1-to-1 comparison.

Most of those frames are designs that have been around for a while, and have proven to be reliable, so should be a safe bet.

True, the frames do give a different ride, but the geometry is still the same. I have the WW-062 and my buddy has a SJ, I was trying to get him to ditch the super harsh aluminum frame and go for the cheap carbon version so we were swapping back and forth on a ride one day. He ended up getting a 2016 SJ FSR Carbon instead. I can say that this frame is MUCH more compliant than the SJ aluminum frame. Maybe that is good or maybe it's bad because the frame is cheaply made, the verdict is still out on that one. However, the OP is worried about the geometry not being quite what he wants so this will help him decide. And coming from an older aluminum frame, I'm pretty sure it should feel a little better than what he is used to.

Does anyone now if this hole should be there? Look at the attached picture.

Did you decide on a frame?

Crankset it sold. Thanks VillyWonka!!

5'11" and I'm on a 18.5" frame. Seat is centered on a 20mm setback post and I have a 60mm stem with 720mm wide bars. I'm very pleased with the fit as it is.

Hello Guys,

I'm new here and would like to order a workswell WCB-M-062 or the new version. But I have a few question about the frame.
At the site of workswell there are 2 frames:
New version:
http://www.workswellbikes.com/web/view/223.html
Old version:
http://www.workswellbikes.com/web/view/149.html

Are there experiences with the new frame? Can I order it without the chance of early braking? Which frame do you recommend?

I'm a bit afraid if the frame will go well with my weight of approximately 200 pounds. I will use it as a beachracer so it won't be used in heavy environments.

Greetings, Gert-Jan

I would go with the 062 over the 096 mainly because of the shorter chainstays. But if you're riding the beach most of the time, I would probably get the the 078 Plus bike over the others. Geometry will be similar to the 062 if you use normal 29" size tires but you have the option of running some Plus tired if the need arises.

Yup, I got it. 
I do have a new SRAM crank arm set that I was thinking of getting rid of as I found some different ones for the last build. You would still need to get a GXP Bottom bracket and the chain ring of your choice though. Also, I'm not sure if shipping it to Norway would make it impractical but let me know if you're interested and we can work out the financial side of it.

No experience with this particular frame but I have 2 others from WW and I would definitely get another if they had what I wanted. I say go for it.

hello Alcaid

I'm interested in making a new build with a FS 27.5 frame, and this one .... looks to be a good option for me

it looks like the Specialized Camber....

the only "detail" that blocks me is the BB, only BB92 is available, and that means using a Shimano BBraket which I would avoid - I real prefer SRAM ones
SRAM GXP uses 22mm on one side and 24mm on the other side, so .... the bb92 does not fit :-(

is there someone here who would have a solution to mount a SRAM BB on a frame with a BB92?

thank you in advance

Put "gxp bb92" into your favorite search engine and you will get what you need. SRAM makes a BB92 GXP bottom bracket.
