Your jeffsey, needed headset bearing cups.  The chinese frame has built in integrated cups,  the bearing sits direct in the frame.

Here's the finished product.  They wanted a month to put the decals on it,  so I nixed that.  Took 60 days from order to arrival and another 2 weeks for me to get off my rear and put it together.  The rear suspension is nicer than my Scott Spark 950 was but otherwise it rides fairly similar and is fun and playful. Look forward to racing it.  All of the components except the stem came from my Scott.   

Frame is 100 mil front and rear, it came with the spacers to run a 165X38 shock.  I can't tell you how much I love the BSA BB.  Thread in beats the hell out of press fit..

Ordered on 11/17/2020 on Ebay  arrived today 01/19/21 , via UPS.  Packaged very well, including rear axle and headset.  Will unwrap tonight.  Frame came with bottom spacers to run old style shock so will see if that works rather than purchasing a 165X40mm trunnion shock.

165X40mm is usually a TRUNNION mount shock.  165X38 is old style hardware, so you might need to fine hardware that would work with old style shock.

I didn't see any relative savings buying direct.  I like the customer back up of buying through Ebay and/or Aliexpress and using paypal.

So broke the chain stay on my 2014 Scott Spark 950, been a great Full squish aluminum XC bike.  The replacement part is about 120 days out so in the mean time I order this frame hopefully to come in sooner so I can ride XC around Houston and will also build a 130/140mm probably ICAN cycling P1 late spring. 

Order via ebay from Tan Tan sports,  like the geometry of this better than the Tideace 100mm bike  and I was able to get 12X142 rear end so that I don't have to screw with chainline or boostinating my Light bicycle carbon wheels.

That looks a lot more like a dw link on the spark than a vpp

I need to email them because they list an XL 21 but the geometry only goes up to 19.  Geometry #'s are getting so loose these days....

29er / New 150mm 29er frame - Lexon Spark

This frame Lexon Spark ( funny their trail bike is the spark and the xc is the genius) , it has dw link at bottom and the angles aren't too far out of whack.  I just wish open mold bikes could take a bigger rear tire, otherwise this isn't that bad for specs.

ICAN is one of the older and bigger chinese open mold brands.  You can't go wrong with ICAN.  I believe they manufacturer for bigger names also

- SR Suntour Aion 35 (lowered to 120mm, 331 A2C).


I'd be interested in a review of this fork?  Does it measure up to the big boys of suspension?

Nice looking bike.  I knew that frame looked familiar.  Similar to BMC fourstroke

Rockshox 35 gold has 35 mm stanchions i believe the Reba has 32 mm stanchions,  if you are worried about sticking fork, how about Marizochi bomber z2?  Its got the same internals as a Fox Rhythm 34 , 34 mm stanchions and is the new choice for alot of manufacturers ,  its on the new Marin Riftzone
