Re: looking for ready made Ti frames.
I think Waltly is also a well know option http://waltlytitanium.com/ And on AliExpress you can find PYTITANS, which are the cheapest option I think. https://aliexpress.com/store/group/De-titanio-de-bicicleta/1260811_513401271.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.100008.16.7259437e4jN2NM March 10, 2021, 03:33:12 AM |

Re: Velobuild VB-R-186
That is an event in itself. Getting components right now is a pain. HI carbonazza, I see you're from Belgium. They still have some groupsets at futurumshop. But they don't have Shimano anymore... March 12, 2021, 10:56:09 AM |

Re: Difference in quality between ~600$ and ~1200$ frames?
I don't think you're getting anything more. They're probably trying to make it seem that a higher price translates to a better quality product but from the many testimonials on this site its pretty evident that most of these frames are very much the same. I can personally attest to velobuild as I ride 2 of them. A little over 1k miles on my r099 and $350 55mm carbom wheels from CSC and still riding great. In a few clicks you can read similar stories with tantan, ican , Carbonda , dangfu etc. I say find a frame that you like the geo of and if you stick to some of the more popular brands here you can't go wrong no matter the price.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Was just over at Ican Bikes looking at their S24/FM909 and see that they have a new 2021 frame S3 which looks like the front of the FM936 with the rear of the FM1001... geo chart is identical to FM936 and shock travel of 100mm with 165*40 shock - weighs slightly more due to chainstay pivots (true 4-bar Horst link) and beefed up seat stays due to not being flex stays. Available as a complete bike (with carbon wheels) as well as bare frame. https://icancycling.com/blogs/articles/full-suspension-xc-bike https://icancycling.com/collections/mtb-frame/products/xc-full-suspension-mtb-bike-frame-s3 March 21, 2021, 02:39:12 PM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
2 records in one ! They first send the rear axle only. That's why it is very quick   (joking) Hope you'll be happy with it !! March 26, 2021, 05:44:50 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
I absolutely doubt the weight of your Reba, that would be even lighter than a Sid. It should also be somewhere in the 1600-1700g range.

Re: LCFS911 full suspension
Just did the final shakedown. Very happy with the feel and power delivery.I've got this frame now! 1950detroit sold me the frame, fork, shock, handlebars, stem (I swapped to 80mm Syncros stem instead of his 120mm stem), seatpost, and saddle. I had most of the parts laying around, just had to buy a crank, chain, and a few little parts. Specs: Fox shock (Trek Top Fuel Takeoff) SRAM XO GXP crankset (started it's life as a 2x, swapped on a 32t ring) 11-speed GX derailleur, XX1 shifter, X01 cassette, XX1 chain Formula Cura 2 brakes Amazon $20 disc rotors Speedsafe rims, ZTTO 54t hubs, Pillar Wing 20 spokes, Sapim brass spokes (I built them) Vittoria Mezcal XC 29x2.25 (I'm curious to try a Barzo front) Following parts from Scott Spark takeoff: Rockshox Sid 100mm fork Boost Syncros Carbon Seatpost, Bars, stem, saddle, grips Bontrager comp pedals Build ended up at 23.2 lbs with pedals, and 23.6 with dual bottle cage. I 3d printed the bracket to hold both cages at the perfect angle, could maybe make an aluminum version that's lighter, but I'm not worried about it, the bracket itself is around 100g and the ABS part seems plenty strong. First ride was a success, the bike was really fast, it's about 1 lb lighter than my hardtail so having a lighter bike with the sting taken off the rear end was nice. I only felt any noticeable bob when standing and pedaling hard, and it's nothing major. The noise I heard was the topping out of the DPS shock, but I think I need to add rebound damping and soften the air spring. I added McMaster neoprene foam around the cables so those are silent, which is really nice! I'm hoping this bike will be the perfect XC and long distance bike. My favorite ride is a 57 miler with 18 miles of very rooty old-school singletrack, 21 miles of flow trail, and the rest is gravel to get in between. My hardtail makes my joints ache by the end and my trail bike is just so heavy. The goal of this bike is to cut the difference. I think my biggest surprise was how nimble the bike was. My hardtail is a Transition Vanquish, which is 67 HTA (which should match the 911 HTA once sagged), 75 STA, short chainstays, but the LCFS911 feels SO much more nimble around tight turns.
