That looks sweet! Is that factory paint or custom job? Just UD carbon and a tainted clear medium coat?

Yes I can understand the appeal and that was also my approach.

How much material did you end up using for painting? Prices are a lot higher than I was expecting for the materials!

what kind of carbon weave do you get under the UD if you remove it?

It is indeed. I am waiting for them to release the L size... let us know what you think when you receive it.
what fork will you fit on it? I just got a reba RL for my build

« on: September 03, 2023, 06:30:58 AM »I had an airwolf frame in large. I'd need to check the number but that was 786g new. Mine cracked relatively quickly but it was a lively bike to ride. In the end my build was 7.6kg rigid. Lots of others had good experiences with that frame but I never have good luck. Any carbon frame and Ti frame i've owned has cracked somewhere and none of which were chiner (except the airwolf).Sounds like we should let you beta test then lol
I don't come on here often but I think i'll give that SPCYCLE frame a go. I have lots of parts on my cannondale flash which could go over to that frame and i plan to build some 1kg wheels with those carbon/ti spokes to see if they're any good.

thanks Jeff. Distance between clamps is 125mm, HT is 110 on the frame I am looking at so it should fit. only potential issue is that the scott has cable routing though HT, not on the side of the frame, so there is an adapter in there needing some room, not sure 15mm would be enough.

29er / Lefty fork on chiner?
« on: August 31, 2023, 01:29:43 PM »
Yeah or naah?
The frame I am considering is the SP cycle scale frame, could get good deal on a lefty XTR.

« on: August 28, 2023, 09:41:07 PM »I purchased one of these frame about 1-1/2 years ago. Finally built it up about 6 months ago. Bike total weight can just under 19 lbs, with a Sid Ultimate SL 100mm travel fork.
(Total Weight depends more on what wheels and tires I am running on it.) To date, I really like how I build up this bike. It climbs well, it is a 'lively' great handling frame. So far, I really like the bike!!!
do weknow the "inspiration" for this frame design?

« on: August 22, 2023, 12:05:41 PM »At the price of ZRace rotors I'd just buy genuine Sram Centerlock... Brakes are one place where being cheap or trying to save weight is legit dangerous.
With that said, I'm interested in these floating rotors as they have steel braking surface, alloy fins (no metal sandwich as seen on Shimano Shitetech tho) and cost 18€ shipped (although there might be additional cost in order to run these with centerlock wheels) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005001547957941.html
