Damn, I just found some quality issues with my frame while I was wrapping protective films on it.
The carbon finishing near the CS Axle pivots looks pretty bad. I'm not sure if I should continue building with this CS.
You can see the CS Axle Pivot Right Side - Low is perfect but others aren't.

I've sent ICAN an email. Let's see how it goes..

Hi Ben, for my frame, that particular area has a silver chain stay protector. Could the crack be a result of chain impacts?
from my experience on this frame, ICAN tend to ignore emails on things that they don't want to answer.... e.g. I was asking them for frame availability for a size which they don't have stock, they ignored me for days until I asked the same question in a PM to their FB account.
Good luck with your warranty claims and pls let us know how it goes

I actually think a Float X2 may after seeing how Stefan grinded his coil shock.
The trunnion mount of a float X2 is near the stanchion which is where grinding is needed for a coil shock. The stanchion is obviously smaller in diameter vs the coil so that part should be OK.
Problem is that the X2 air can measures up to 50mm diameter which is a bit bigger than say a fox SLS coil spring.

Woooo!

My S3 arrived today, 8 business days after payment. I've had a good look over it, there is a small chip (<0.5mm) in the paint on the chainstay, and paint around the linkage bolts is a little rough in a couple of places, but it's no worse than the paint quality that my Specialized Enduro had when I first got it.

My components will be
Microshift Advent X 10 speed 11-48t drivetrain
Shimano SLX 170mm cranks
Magura Trail Sport brakes 180/160 Magura discs
Truvativ carbon bars
DT XM401 rear wheel Formula hub
Merida front wheel
Revelation 120mm Fork
Monarch 165x38 shock

I was going to use my Reverb dropper but I wrongly thought it was a 31.6, it's a 30.9 so I'll need to get a dropper now. Will probably get a One Up 150mm.

It was too late to take any decent photos when I got home, I'll endeavour to have some up on Friday.

Interesting, the website spec says it's uses a 31.6mm seatpost. How's your riding impression of the bike? I also paid for a black frame after seeing yours. Your posts have been very helpful!

Like checker_de asked earlier, would a float x2 fit? Thanks
