I'm looking to create a clone of an Ibis DV9 for my 5'1 12-year-old.
Here's the DV9 geo chart:

My only other requirement is boost, so it's compatible with an existing wheelset I'd like to use.
So far, the closest option I've come to is the Trifox: https://trifoxbike.com/products/sdy20-carbon-mountain-bike-frameset-hardtail-boost?variant=32794338361423
But - at close to $660, it's about 2x the price of other Chinese Hardtail carbon frames, and I don't love the logo/color.
What other options should I be looking at?

This frame is a copy of Specialized Epic HT, and of you want modern geo HT, it seems to be the only option.
You may also take a look at TanTan FM199-B: http://www.tantancycling.com/index.php?_m=mod_product&_a=view&p_id=713
Head angle is 69.5 with 496.3 axle-to-crown fork. With 503,7 ATC you'll get about 69.15 and about 68 degrees with 120mm travel fork.
You can also find on Aliexpress a frame "inspired by" Trek Stache (with asymmetrical chainstays), it's HA is 68.5 and it takes 3.0 tires.

Thanks for the reminder!
I think I'll go for this one, since my beloved Carbonda does not sell hardtail anymore.

The FM199 looks promising, but no XL available.
Any recommendations for something similar in XL?
Can't find the Trek Stache Clone

Flybike-asia.com has one, but only B2B if you can arrange it.
I've built one for my business partner, few years ago, and he loves it, with a Pike fork and in 29+ tires
Pieter who left but then came back (is he?) did sell them.

Should we proceed in the other "XL / 21" thread?
Carbonda is an option, but not looking nice for me.
