Re: Carbonda FM909 Finished.

Looks good I think.  Frameset appears to be very good quality.  Just a shame that the experience has been somewhat marred by the paint (clear) over bearings fiasco.  I'll update when I receive a response to my request for a new middle linkage to replace the borked one. 

First order of business, more shock and fork pressure.  Need to cut bars further and find the fattest grips available.  Also need a longer travel (and thus longer) dropper as I can't put seat high enough.  SRAManoruk and Shigura working well.  Also need to reduce saddle downward tilt as I can't get away with that on wide flat bars (vs narrow drops).  May ultimately have to change cockpit solution to something with rise and more backsweep.

Excited to ride it in the mountains and on the trails.  But god damn does lwb and wide bars feel like shit in the city.

Pics attached.

Re: XC frame comparable to Specialized Epic Evo (110mm travel)? NS Bikes has its own designers. I'm sure - I'm also from Poland :)
Anyhow FM936 geometry is great. Especialy it ascend awesome.

Re: 29er XC Hardtail - Boost - Modern Geometry
any news or revies about this frame?
I am not founding this frame on the carbonda official website.

I just received the two frames. Initial impression is great.
Still some components are missing, I'll report as soon as they are built.

Re: Carbonda FM-1306A a 69° Hardtail

May I ask for a photo of the finished build? :)  and how is your impression of the bike? I am thinking of the 1306 although I would like a smaller steering angle around 67°, which I can't really find for hardtail frames with 100.

Sure. If everything goes according to plans, the first one will be built this weekend.
