Just wanted to come back and give an update.

Riding this bike for months now. Carbonda is obviosly the real deal, frame and paint are working perfectly. I've had some crashes and close calls. Always my fault, always the frame is undamaged.

This bike is extremely capable on the downhill with the 120mm fork but at the cost of a little bit of uphill performance. Specifically, when riding up steep techical hills the longer fork keeps your weight away from the ground and makes it easier to fail backwards. The larger fork also limits the front manuveurability while climbing. This is only something to consider if you are trying to hop up large rocks on steep climbs.

My build is a trail oriented and the bike can handle whatever I throw at. The long wheel base makes it a little bit tricky to do big jump lines, but the lightweight (under 26lbs) make it easy to throw around.

Overall, amazing for the money. The frame is totally worth whatever high-end components you were thinking about splurging on.

Regrets: wish I went 203mm in the front brake instead of 180 on both.
