Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread!
I received an email from scourge about the Group Buy (GB) happening -thank you.
-I am still in with 1: size small (Unsure about a second one in size medium).

I still have a couple of doubts though, especially regarding our chances to reach the lower price and who and how this is being controlled.
-Is the 30 or 50 frame GB considered as such regardless of the frame size ordered? We're getting the 30 minimum pricing, $540, even if we just order 10.
-Are all sizes ready to produce now? (I think that when the original thread was started the frame and only in one size was still in development) yes
-What is the price if the GB does not even reach 30 frames? $540
-How are the orders being bundled (and who is doing it) so that we know the lower price was reached? Is there any need to do this? No bundling, email Eddy
-Is Eddy taking orders until a cut-off date so that he can quote based on the number of orders that we were able to reach? Or is it that, by simply telling Eddy you are part of the GB allows you to access the prices he gave us, and trust Eddy will quote accordingly? Mid April for GB, email Eddy and tell him you're part of the GB
-Is there any promise from Eddy to respect the $499 price or refund any difference if the GB reaches 50 frames? We won't hit 50 frames
-For what I have read, some people have already placed orders at $540 (before shipping, custom colour, etc.). Did Eddy ask for a payment already or is he waiting until a cut-off date? I paid in full
-How does it work regarding payment? Do we need to cover 100% upfront? Or is it a 50% (or any other %) payment to place your order and the remainder before the order is shipped? Check with Eddy, I paid in full
 
I guess it sounds with all these questions that I am hesitant but not really, I think $540 is still a good deal. I just would like to know more details if possible before placing an order, or other’s experience so far.
See answers above

Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread! Eddie is charging $540 right now. I doubt we will hit 50 now, but 30 is possible. $540 is still a great deal in my opinion.

A few people have responded to my messages. I'm glad it helped some people. I could do a thread on mtbr and pinkbike forums if you guys want me to to drum up more buys.

I haven't placed my order yet. I'm ready but can't decide on a color. That's the only thing I'm waiting on.

Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread! Asked Eddy about clearance for the fork crown, as there doesn't seem to be a lot of space under the downtube, kind of like the highball clone, he promptly replied he would check and let me know, no answer since, so I suppose the adjusters may hit the frame. I'm out!

Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread! Bbr has a small frame already and says his hits. I PMed him a few minutes ago. I'm not sure if larger frames will have the same issue. He said a product like this will fix the problem:

Luckily I already have one and was thinking of putting it on there anyway to take the head angle down to 65 degrees.

Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread! I see, my bad. Just looking at the blueprint for the 1166 frame and its 52mm top and bottom. So you're right, looks to be IS, but with a 52mm upper that means it would be internal cable compatible.
Generally not a fan of IS headsets though as I  feel like it'd be easier to be out of tolerance that zs. Actually I know of one person that's had 2x Evolve frames with wacky headset machining. I've even had it with a big brand Taiwanese made frame.

Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread! Thanks for you guys of the supporting.

We have not got the 50 sets order, so the price we offered 30sets Groupbuy USD540/set.
And if not reached 30sets, we would also keep the price for these guys who have pre-paid the order.

And the pre-paid order would be ending on the 20th April.
The price would be USD699/set not included shipping fee for one set once the groupbuy order ended.

Thanks, so if still got anybody want to join us, please feel free to contact me by email.

Best regards
Have a ncie day.

Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread!
Ordered a large from Eddy.  Now to look into a shock.


If you don't want to spend much, 210x55 float DPS's are just about the best price to performance out there on the used market for a totally acceptable rear shock. Not sure what tune you want (I forget what the Hightower comes with - assuming that's close enough) but there's probably some tunes to avoid. Commonly posted for like 200 bucks Canadian out here in BC.
