Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts My build!

As the frame is the same as the Vitus Rapide I was toying with idea of just getting a Vitus as that was good value in 2021, but in 2022 the prices have jumped a fair bit for the same bike, so for me it was as good, if not better value to build up a FM936 myself.

I wanted a fast trail bike that I could race XC on if I felt the need. All parts are sensible, nothing excessive and all functional.

Superlight frame, with Scott Nude shock and Scott twinloc lever that I got to work with the SID ulitmate fork. 'Just Riding Along' XC alu wheelset, Schwalbe tyres, mostly XT transmission, brand-x dropper, fairly bog-standard finishing kit - weight with pedals/cage/frame protection/etc is under 26lb and cost me just over £3000 give or take - not including the 4iiii power meter I decided to get.

Very happy with it. Already raced XC on it and it did very well. Happy I hunted out a remote lockout solution for suspension - love it.
