Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame I received my FM1001 XL today.  $1,024 shipped to Colorado which took about 5 weeks.  Box was a little tattered but no damage to the frame.  Overall quality seems great at first review.  Frame was 2,738 grams out of the box.  A little heaver than I had hoped, but close enough.

I am going to try to wrap it using a Ride Wrap kit for an XL Transition Sentinel.  Frames seem close and I will need to do some trimming.  We'll see if that will work.  It might be a disaster. 

Plan to build it up over the next few weeks.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Just building up my FM1001 now.  I was able to run the cables without too many problems.  I ended up removing some of the rear linkage bolts, laying frame on the ground, and running cables back to front. 

Front grommet with two cables coming out of it is a tight fit.  It doesn't quite sit fully flush but I'm hoping it will do for now.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Here are a few pics of my recent build.  I'm really enjoying the ride - both up and down.  Very solid bike.  Suspension is great coming from a hardtail.  I'm ~6'2" or 188 cm and went with the XL which is the correct size for me.  It weighs in at 13,610 grams or 30.0 pounds as shown. 

Build includes:
Salsa carbon handlebar
Pike 140mm fork
XT brakes
Thompson stem
Roval Traverse carbon wheels
Maxxis Rekon 29x2.6 tires (with plenty of clearance)
XX1 cranks
One Up 150mm dropper
MTB Rocket saddle
Fox DPS Performance shock
SRAM 10-50 1x12 drivetrain
One Up composite flat pedals
