Same here: http://www.winowsports.com/product/2022-Hard-tail-mtb-29er-boost-mtb-carbon-frame-MF056.html

Seems a fun 120mm travel HT frame.

Thats a XC 100/100 frame. You should use a 100mm travel fork.
My advices:
1 - Save on transmission (try to get an used 11 speed group)
2 - Save on wheels (try to get an used arch mk3 wheelset)
3 - Spend on a good fork, shock and tyres.

I'm expecting to have some hardware problems (hoping not hard to fix) but it won't break right away...

I see that someone above mentioned that they were going to use a 140mm fork.  The info at the beginning of the thread says that the fork travel size is 160.  Forgive me for not understanding correctly, but wouldn't you need a 160mm fork?

SantaCruz says the minimum in their frame its 150mm, however, I will use a 140mm and a 10mm crown spacer to keep the geo.
I will use a 50mm rear shock to get about 135mm rear travel and make it a trail bike.

Ordered a medium.
I will use a FOX34 140mm fork with a 10mm crown spacer. For the rear I got a FOX DPX2 210x50mm, probably I will get 130-135mm rear travel.

I don't know if this has already been asked but the tread +100 pages and I can't find it so please bear with me.

Is it possible to fit a "normal" (as in none trunnion) 165mm shock upside down (of course with the required spacers/adapter) in order to easily reach the lockout/adjuster?
Or would it hit the linkage?

Seems like a simple enough solution if you can't/don't want to run a remote lockout on the handlebar. If it fit that is...

Formula Cura for me, nothing else!
Shimano second.
I won't use Magura or SRAM ever again.

So maybe moving the discussion onto something more positive, anyone start thinking of build specs yet?  ;D

Already got a FOX 36 160mm, a FOX DPX2 and a wheelset with Praxis AL32 rims.
Im thinking to build with Shimano M7100 drivetrain.

Thanks for the update Eddy =)
The frame looks nice.

Some information that I would like to know:
Do you know when will the frame be available?
Will BB BSA73 be an option?
Can Haideli provide better linkage hardware and bearings as an upgrade (paid of course)?

Thanks

Update from my faulty frame:
Received a new front triangle and now seems perfect. I will assemble and try during next week.

When I asked about BSA73 BB they answered me: "We only have BB92 in stock now , If you want other bottom bracket ,You need to order at least 10.".

ok so...
what about taking one of these and throwing a 140mm fork on the front? how about a -2 angleset?
im 6' (198cm ish) thinking about a large or an xl with a 30mm stem and some 780mm bars, oh and the longest dropper post i can get.
I usually ride a kona honzo and want something with a tiny bit of squish on the back for getting rowdy on. oh and i live in vancouver bc, so the bike will get thrashed pretty hard.
Think its up for it?

These frame it's for XC, not AM. I think you should go to AM831 and go with 130-150 rear and 150-160 front.
