If it rides as good as it looks, you'll have quite a bike.

I'm still considering it. I've never built up a frame and am a little intimidated by it. But it seems like it could be be a really fun project too. I may be too worried not to wait and see how the first frames turn out from buyers here. But it's so tempting.

I wonder how much extra having it painted will cost. I asked Eddie along with some other questions a while back. He said he'd get back to me but never did. He also gave me a price of $760 for the frame. Wonder why there is a difference.

So far I've noticed the top tube is different. There is a link in this frame, whereas the Hightower is straight. I also noticed the seat tube lengths on the geo charts for this frame are much longer. So far it seems there is no flip chip. Wonder if it will have the protectors on the down tube or the little fender for the rear shock. Anyone notice any other major differences?

That's threaded right? So it should be easy to install cranks?

Is it correct to assume since the frame comes with the headset and bottom bracket that they will be installed already?

Great news about the headsets and the colors. This frame gets even more appealing.
I always wanted to build up a frame, but I've never tried. Can someone with experience give me an idea how difficult it is if I were taking parts off another bike? The headsets in, so I assume I just fit the fork in. The bottom bracket is threaded, so will it be easy to get the cranks in? Routing the cables may be hard. Is there really difficult steps I'm not thinking of? Any advice?

Anyone know if haideli offers options on the frames like headsets etc.? What about paint jobs? Not that I mind all black. I'll chat with them, but I figured I'd ask here first.

That price for 10 frames is fantastic.

Thank you for the reply. My shock won't work, but I'm still considering this frame.

Anyone know what size shock it's going to use yet? I could be in if I could salvege parts off my current bike.

Strange that it says it's a 130mm frame. Right between the Tallboy and Hightower?

The drawings on that site look great. I would buy a bike that color even.
