Finally received my frame and got it all assembled.  Overall it looks great.  However, they still didn't really fix the shock interference issue if you are running a 200mm shock.  They added a bit of clearance that helps when the shock is full extended, but as it compresses and the linkage rotates it still hits.  I used a Grinder to remove a small amount of material to add the needed clearance.  I think it should be good now.  I will update after getting some miles on it.

I also got a similar response.  The rep said they did make updates to the design and the issue is fixed.  So I am moving forward with the order.  It will probably be at least a month before it arrives but I will update when I receive it.  I'm excited to get this thing built!

I also got a response.  The agent I'm talking to just pointed me towards some of their documentation that says it fits a 200mm shock. I'm not convinced its fixed.  Still not sure if I should cancel or give it a shot.

I do already have the 200mm shock.  I would be willing to try 185x55 but dont see a ton of 185mm shocks available... seems like 200, 190, 165 are the popular sizes.

I am in touch with them now, they said they will have an answer for me Monday.  If they simply eliminated the one hole to only accept a 185mm shock that might be a deal breaker for me since I really wanted something with a bit more travel.  I am even debating if its worth trying to modify it to make it work.  I will see wait to see what they say.

After looking at some of the images it looks like they might have removed the second hole and limited it to 185mm.  They probably discovered the issue and this was an easy fix.  But they still haven't updated all of the documentation.

Since it looks like this order will be getting canceled, can anyone recommend a good option that will accept a 200mm shock?

I wonder if it would be a good idea to grind out a little space in the frame and/or grind down the end of the shock just a little give it a bit more clearance?  Not ideal but probably better than cracking it.

My frame is about to ship but now I am thinking about canceling the order last minute. Major disappointment.

Looks awesome!  I just ordered one of these frames myself and cant wait to get building.  I'll be watching your build while I wait for it to arrive.
