Well,

Fortunately/Unfortunately I will not be building the frame. I have accepted a job in the bike industry with bike rebate so I'm selling my frames and the components I bought with it.

I made a post in the classfied to not spam here. It's a small if you're interessed

Sales & Classifieds / FS AM831 small frame

EDIT : frame sold

Hi everyone,

I'm selling my small FS AM831 frame unpainted.

Things changed in my life and I've accepted a job in the bike industry meaning I'll be riding the company bikes (55% off woohoo !)

I choose the frame to be bare as I planned to paint it myself, I can give you the carbon primer , blue spray paint and clear that I got from spray.bike with it

Frame will be ship in the original package that it came , also including the components that came with it : headset, seatclamp, bb

I'll put it back together as it's dissassembled right now

Asking 875$ cad shipped anywhere, that's what I paid

I have other parts that I planned to put on that I can sell in bundle.

All price in CAD

 - ZTTO threaded BB 40$
 - ZTTO chainguide 10$
 - Reverse Component -.5 hta crownrace 20$
 - ZTTO 203mm rotors 80$
 - FOVNO crank with passquest chainring 130$

I'll make you a deal if you take it all of course

Took the digital caliper out and measured my frame also

front mount : 30mm like everyone else
Rear mount : 22.8mm also like most people

Here's what I got for bearing but I would 2x check also as I measured them still pressed in, not planning on changing them yet

top link bearing : 10x19x5, 6800-2rs x 2
lower link bearing : 12x21x5 , 6801-2rs x 4
chainstay bearing : 15x23.75/24, 6802-2rs x 2

I also contacted Manitou to check the piggyback length of the Manitou Mara pro , I measured that we have around 130mm of clearance from front shock mount to the seat tube.

Manitou confirmed that from the top eyelet to the end of the piggyback is 100mm or 115mm depending on the shock dimension so it should fit.

I'll take the plunge as I really want to match brand with my Mezzer.

So my frame came in today and like I said I’ve disassembled it completely for paint prep.

Bearing are all unmarked but tomorrow I’ll have a digital caliper to take measurements.

More info to come

Receiving my small frame on Thursday I’ll take more measurements if you guys need.

I’m not building it soon but actually disassembling it for custom paint by a friend that those airbrush so I can measure all the bolts and linkage

Cheers

wow, thanks for that elgaucher...

things can ramp up quickly when you start to get good stuff on it.  damm...

makes me wonder if I should just get a INTENSE 951 from Costco and be done with it.  Lifetime warranty too. ugh.

To be faire there’s a lot of takeoff from my other bike to get to that price.

Going from nothing, I’d probably shed 1k just by going with deore brakes, cheaper wheels and suspension

Guys,

Sorry if this has been asked multiple times already.  Is there a nice full parts list that someone has done for their build for this AM831 bike?

I'm kinda new to this whole "build from scratch" thingy...TIA!

Probably won’t help you much but this is my spreadsheet. Price are CAD

Suspension are on waiting list if I see that a manitou mars pro fit I’ll biy it and keep my manitou mezzer pro up front ( I like matchy suspension)

Wheels, I’ve already had them , would have gone with the diycarbon wheels with fastace hubs

Can anyone that has gotten a frame verify some things?  What did it come with? When emailing to order it was said that it would come with a headset, BB, seat post collar, and rear axle?

What is the required headset spacer that was mentioned on the previous page? Just a regular spacer that goes below and above the stem?

And what size did the seat post diameter end up being?  30.9mm?

I feel we’re repeating the same information over and over but

Frame comes with : headset, sestpost collar ans rear axle/hanger, no bb as far as I know but I guess if you said you have email proof maybe you paid more to get it ?
Bb : bb92
Spacer : crownrace spacer like the reverse components or cane creek crownrace spacee is required to avoid fork contact on downtube. No it’s not like a regular spacer
Seatpost dia : 31.6

Yes the opening isn't large enough for the coil.  When eddy shipped the frames he sent me a shipping number via email.

Thank for confirming that a tracking is provided. Now that we sure know a coil isn’t an option, do you think a manitou mara pro that has a really long piggy back would fit ?

Did you guys had a tracking number ? Not sure I’m what number on the list but I’m getting nervous it shows up without me knowing and getting stolen

Another AliExpress  parts review post  :D

Fovno GXP crankset : C$ 64.92  44% Off | Fovno GXP Bicycle Crank Mountain bike crankset aluminum alloy bicycle crank aluminum alloy MTB bicycle crank bike parts
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOYrGBt

Crank looks solid , makes me think of Hope cranks from the shape of it.


PassQuest GXP chainring : C$ 34.45  25% Off | Pass Quest Mountain Bike Chainring Oval 3mm 6mm Offset MTB Chain Ring Round Narrow Wide Tooth Plate Bicycle Chain Wheel for SRAM
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtg1259

Machining looks good, really light. Hopefully it will last a bit

The tolerance of pairing those two were really really tight. I was able to assemble them by screwing the screw equally until the chainring would sit flush.

We’ll report more once I’ve ridden them or if you guys have any questions

Cheers
