in parameters it is stated that frame has 100mm travel

on picture it is stated that frame has 120mm travel

on geo chart a2c of fork is shown as 506 mm (matches xc form with 106 travel)

looks like there are some mistakes

also, how much does that frame cost?

i just got one frame of fisrt revision from ali

video with play between lower rocker and fromt triangle was filmed by me

i made detailed photos of frame (in Ukrainian. but google translate may handle it)

i would not upload photos here as i have to log into this forum via vpn (and incognito mode), cause my isp ip is banned here

link to catalog with just plain photos
link to article

from my poi there are 2 problems with this frame

bearing size
price

everything else will be fixed (we are lucky to have super mechanic, thaw will just made needed upgrades)

Ukraine

frame itself is 600-650$

shipping 100$
light version of frame 60$ (regular not available at the moment)
some spares (axle, hanger) 30$
paypal tax up to 40$ (5% charge)

850$ in general is OK, if frame is made well, and thats why i started this thread, maybe someone can share photos

i've got hardtail based on torpado frame. after bike FIT it looks like i can easilly take a bigger frame, so i am looking for a replacement with next features:

size XL
reach not less than 460mm (90% percents of frames fails to reach it)
head angle less than 69 (up to 69.5 if everything else is superb)
seatpost 31.6 (i will use dropper)
bottom bracket NOT BSA (pf bb92 or pf30, no matter)

at first sight airwolf was a great frame with great price, but from what i saw and know their frames are manufactured quite poorly (one frame was inspected by me, and i dont like how headset and seattube are manufactured), and their warranty works not as good as stated (long replacement delivery time, 100$ shipping charge)

336 is a superb freme except 27.2 seatpost. i even was ready to buy fox transfer sl (400$), but longest dropper thay have in 27.2 is 380mm, and its just not long enough for me
162 is a trade off, when i get a bit steper ha, and shorter reach, but could use 31.6 droppers. looked like a great compromise, until i found out price

also WorksWell has afull suspension frame, which looks great on paper, and my plan was to get a hardtail frame, as it is cheaper, and then order suspension frame

hello!

i was looking for HT frame with certain requirements, and find out that only 2 frames will fit

Airwolf 025\026 fits, but i dont like how these frames are made. but - they are quite cheap (up to 400$)

WorksWell has 2 hartdail frames with great (i can say best for XL size) geometry:

https://www.workswellbikes.com/XC/wcb-m-336(29er).html
https://www.workswellbikes.com/XC/wcb-m-162.html

BUT they are quite expensive, and for 162 frame cost with shipping will be up to 850$ o_O

im wondering, can anybody share overall opinion and photos of how their frames are made?

i believe that 850$ price can be good for a good quality frame, but i dont want to buy it before i see how its made (headset cups, bb, dropouts, etc)
