Yeah it looks like they are all the same variant of the 058 which you can find a few build threads on. It looks like they are offering $100 off if you order the 258 before April 30th. Not getting it shipped until July is a huge turn off though. One other minor thing is that the headtube angle is pretty steep, was hoping for something slacker. I am worried this frame will get twitchy at speed, but I will still consider getting it.

Also worth noting is the FM289 coming out sometime this year, might be worth waiting for.

Whats the total weight on the 2nd bike? Looks really nice man. Do you know the name of the supplier, all I found in the post was China (Taiwan), any specifics?

Super awesome build, super light too. I might pick up an FM058 frame this month...

Newbie here. Getting ready dive into a new FS Chinese frame.
After reading a number of the posts here I’m having trouble keeping
up with all the different model numbers:)
How do I place a manufacturer with a model number?

Honestly, there's very little rhyme or reason for the crazy amount of model numbers out here. But generally you can tell the manufacturer by the 2-3 character prefix. Say, HF-FMXXX, or WCB-M-XXX for instance. Hong Fu and Workswellbikes respectively. The number after the prefix is the model of frame, say 258 or 062 for instance. Some frames can be exactly the same but have different numbers from the manufacturer. Some frames can be rebranded, say the 058 for a 2017 may be 258 in 2018 with minor changes. It's hard to keep track of the all. To sum it all up a FM-057, HF-057, IP-057, etc. might be all the same frame just from different shops.

As the bike sits right now:

I can't see the picture

Hmmm, I wonder what it will weigh!

Damnnnnnit, thanks

Any update for this FM289?
