Looks interesting. Is this an open mould frame sold elsewhere?

26er & 27.5 (650b) / Crown-to-axle measurement
« on: February 27, 2018, 08:33:52 AM »
I'm putting together a 26er for my 10-year-old daughter who is 5' tall and all legs. That way I get to use my old Easton wheelset.

I bought a Manitou M30 fork already. It was a crazy price on AliExpress, and came in less than a week. I can't share the listing because they are sold out, but there are more on there.

The fork has a crown-to-axle measurement of 476mm. I've been looking at three different frames. One has a crown-to-axle of 490mm, one 474, and one 450.

Is this measurement critical? Seems to me it would be, for clearance at least, if not geometry. Or am I just being too picky?
