This file doesn't have the dimensions in it. Can you provide the actual dimensions for the print?
Thanks!

On a size M this was not the case at all for me. I rode it rough and it never saw contact. Even with a Low suspension tune on a RS Deluxe.

Same for me. Medium frame. 42.5 No contact.

Saddles are a very personal thing and everyone will like something different that said I love the 3D-1 version of this:

I picked up a spider with the rx4 cranks for 260 during the 11.11 sale. Pulled off the slider and put it on my racework carbon cranks. Couldn't be happier. Sold the cranks for another 40 bucks also.

Copy and paste the link in a new browser window usually works.
Magene C606.
Looks promising

Excellent build! I see you opted not to go with the X2 — was there any particular reason(s) for that?

Got this shock as a new take off for 100.
Being a lighter rider I have never felt the need for more, but will see how this handles.

I should have my derailleur (old gx axs) ready to mount shortly after Christmas. Waiting on wheels. Interested to see if it's the same.

What vinyl did you use and where did you source is.    I am gathering parts for my FRAMED Frame.   
What 205 X 60 shock are you going to use?   
What fork?  150 or 160 travel?     I don't mind the top logo on the frame. It looks OK to me.   

I plan on using a Wheeltop EDS derailleur.  I might have already posted that it doesn't fit!!  The UHD is too short relative to the mass and width of rear triangle, and the amount of material around the EDS mounting boss.   I have already cut the frame to make the derailleur fit, and will back fill the opening with a carbon fiber sheet/epoxy resin.

The derailleur issue is wild. I only have a shimano group atm and as noted its tight but fits.
I had a friend with a vinyl cutter locally make it for me.

I actually got the logo/vector from the guy that designed it. Found it on his portfolio website.
Seeing as they are defunct I imagine he wont mind me sharing.

Making some progress while I wait for some parts to deliver and others to go on sale on BF.

Covered up the ugly yellow with some satin black vinyl
.
Mounted the DPX2, fresh take off of a Spec. Enduro.
