Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Bossman, are you able to ride both the 1001 and 1002 and if so, how do they compare? What about weight for both frames? Do you have any other bikes you have ridden that you can compare it to?

I'm really thinking about getting one. They look a lot better finished than the AM831.

Re: cybrsrce AM831 build Yeah, I am not happy with the flexing. I am hoping to find a solution  for it. Thanks again for the work you guys are doing on this.

Re: Chinese Carbon 29er Pic Thread. Can anyone who has a Lexon frame pot a review??   Any issues while the build up?   Experience riding??    compare to other namebrands??

Thanks,

What fork is that? The adjusters/valves on the right leg look familiar but I can’t remember which brand that is.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Thanks for the reply. I thought you had posted a couple bikes in the 1002 thread but must have gotten the 2 mixed up.

Glad you are liking it! If I don't get the 831 sorted out I'll be looking really hard at these 2 if I decide to try again with a "chiner" frame. Otherwise I'll go with a name brand bike as there wasn't much savings after getting it completely built and sorted out.

Re: TopCarbon TCGF066 gravel frame It's interesting that Lexon claims the use of Swedish Textreme https://www.textreme.com/ to reinforce the frame. If that's truly the case, it might be worth the small premium over other builders like Velobuild. I'd be quite keen on this frame if that were truly so!

However their blatant rip-off of Scott's marketing, down to 'Lexon's patented aero tubing' even with a big square downtube, leaves a really bad taste.

Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame Finally went to the trails so here some pictures of the final build, it better at everything compared to my hardtail (especially the climbs maybe because the 41mm offset fork) I wonder how it compares to other bikes, I need to ask people on the trail to give some features a try using my bike I think, someone climbed something that looked like a 80cm vertical rock on his bike..

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread! The video above says TanTan down in the corner which means another (3rd or 4th?) company making them. I would be curious how that works because it's not the only frame made by more than one company which all seem to be manufacturers that claim to make frames. I'm wondering if it's something like a shared workshop or makerspace where tools and molds are co-owned or rented to reduce investment costs? And why you will see areas with multiple businesses of the same type in a small area if you search and map one of their addresses.

I don't really like saying this, but I think this frame has a pretty serious design flaw with the upper linkage and connection to the rear triangle/ seat stays. It can probably be made to be rideable in most cases, but what is left to be seen is how it effects the frame in the long term. I'm guessing there will be flex or bearing problems on most frames eventually. If it were me I think I would stop making frames and address it now instead of making more with problems. And I think it would be an easy fix. Would be nice to get some input from the maker and not just invitations to a group buy...maybe we also need a pole to see how many people with the frame are having issues already?

I think I will start a new thread with my build and what I've run into and try to get some pictures to help show what I'm talking about. I need to pull some stuff apart and take some pictures so might be a few days. I noticed something was wrong and made a washer to help a long time ago, but didn't really look at the design until I was messing with it a few days ago and there is definitely a problem.

Anyways...I really want to like the bike but at this point I don't think I would buy it again, at least not until a couple issues get worked out. And I think the only way that will happen is if current owners get vocal and let the maker(s) know there is a problem, as well as potential  buyers that most likely don't want something that doesn't work right...

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread! You can count me as on having problems with flexing in the frame. I even posted a vid in the other thread. Really hope there is a fix to this. A simple fix would be great, but even if it's buying a new linkage or rear triangle I just hope a good fix comes.

Re: cybrsrce AM831 build Eddy told me “all frames have some flex, it is fine” paraphrasing but don’t get your hopes up.
