Lexon 258 Full-Suspension XC Hi,

New guy here.

I've desperately been looking for info about a Lexon frame that lucks very much lika a Scott Spark but with a none trunnion shock mount.


This frame doesn't seem to have any official name but I have seen it referred to as "Model Number: 258" in some places. Mainly on Alibaba:
https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/LEXON-Mountain-Bicycle-Frame-No-Logo_1600146495170.html?spm=a2700.wholesale.deiletai6.29.771912ba4f8MzK&bypass=true

Geometry is very similar to the Scott:

VS.


Lexon is a BKR brand but their page doesn't seem to have been updated in ages and the frame is not on there:

The frame does seem to be a unik variant even if it's very close looking to other clones like the Lightcarbon LCFS911 or Tideace FM-XC029.

Does anyone here have any experience with this model? I haven't been able to find any tests or reviews anywhere. 
It looks like a good deal.

It's sold in a bunch of palaces but here are a few examples:

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/5748318?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000007.1.4abf60d3OXWj9t

Any recommendations on where to buy (or not to buy) is highly appreciated.  :)

Re: TopCarbon TCGF066 gravel frame I custom ordered the frame set with the handlebars from Lexon; unpainted (primer black) frame and with a SP-011 seatpost instead of the standard one (see pic).
Customer service didn't start to well with being unable to provide a working tracking number on month after it was allegedly shipped.
After two months it arrived with;

-  A Cracked headtube
-  Damaged fork/front axle threads
-  Missing handlebars (and headset spacers and the other accessories)
-  The wrong seatpost

When I pointed this out to the seller the responses was lacking to say the least.
They only ever wanted to address the fork axle threads and one of the responses was: "it is press fit  BB86"
I sent loads of photos but all the responses was like talking to a robot or someone trying to make fun of you.     
After having no luck with the seller I escalated my case to AliExpress and that's when Lexon offered me a refund of 15$. The missing handlebar alone is ten times that!!!
AliExpress in the end (after 30 pic, 3 videos and a month of processing) found all my complaints valid but still only refunded me 1/3 of what I had payed.
I will never buy anything ever again from Lexon.



I was offered the option to send it all back, at my on expense of course at approximately 3/8 the purchase price or ~320USD, for a "full refund" and a 30USD AliExpress voucher as compensation for all my troubles and shipping expenses. All that would of course be paid out after it had been received and safely gone through by Lexon to make sure that everything there and as described. Sure...

At this point I have _ZERO_ confidence in Lexon and if I where to send the frame back it would just mysteriously "disappeared" or gotten "damaged" or "pick-a-reason". Anything and everything to not refund me.
