29er / Re: Carbonda FM-1306A a 69° Hardtail

Finally built the two this weekend !
No problem to report about the frame.
Brake mounts were aligned. Smooth inside. Headtube ends clean.
Same great build quality as usual from Carbonda.
The pink one is for my sister !
Unfortunately I did order a 31.6 seat tube. Waiting for the 30.9 to arrive.
With GX AXS, a ZTTO cassette as she wanted a rainbow, but didn't want to invest in an eagle cassette, we'll see how it goes.
In the picture it is a ZTTO chain, but I don't like the noise it makes, so I have an XX1 on order to replace it.
The wheels are the XC925 from lightbicycle.com with 240 EXP hubs, CX-Rays spokes.
The ZRACE Hardrock crankset looks well built.
The Onirii M4 brakes were a very nice surprise, they look awesome and were very easy to assemble, no bleed required.
The brake adapters coming with the frame F PM160->180 and R FM->PM are a bit chunky, but free
I had to file a mm or so from the rear one to let the M4 totally on it.
The fork is temporary, she's not a rock garden type of rider, and I try to convince her a rigid fork will be enough.
If it works, we'll order a pink one, if not, we'll buy another fork.
