I could have gotten a replacement if I were to have paid the shipping I believe. The fit and finish of the frame seemed great. In my case I don’t think there was enough carbon on the joint between the top tube and seat tube.

Not sure I would consider a BXT in the future yet.

Did they offer you a replacement frame?

Pleased to hear they offered a refund, at least.  I had a BXT for my boy, now sold, the BXT not the boy. I was impressed with the finish and he got good use out of it without problem but I had subsequently heard that BXT has poor customer service and to avoid them. I certainly had no issues with communications with them whilst we had the frame.

I’m 180lbs. BXT took care of it and gave me a refund via eBay. I submitted a video of the failure for their internal investigation and was impressed with their communication. Ultimately I’m in the market for a new frame now.

My frame failed today about mile 7 in a cross country race. I heard the loud pop, nothing felt immediately wrong so I kept going and finished. During my post ride clean up I found this. It didn’t fail where I thought it was going to!

I messaged BXT on eBay where I purchased it, we shall see what comes of it!

I went with a carbon seat post, so far no need for a dropper on mine yet. Message them, I didn’t see much action on my frame until I was asking what the status was. Hopefully it gets there soon, I am happy with mine.

Thanks my man...yeah I'm not sure if I want to do a carbon post to keep the weight down or do a Fox transfer 125mm dropper  :-\

Flippin BXT at Aliexpress is rediculous! I ordered 1/22 and it's not expected to get to me until the end of March! ugh!

I measure 9” of insertion on my medium frame.

2 solid rides and 17 miles in on it so far and I’m feeling happy with the build.

Isnt that too much of a fork for that frame..... :o

It is a placeholder for now... waiting on a 120mm Fox 34 Stepcast to find its way to replace it.

I got mine finished last night. Very happy with the outcome!

Rode it around the block a few times and seems light and playful with the 140mm fork.

Hopefully going to get in a ride this weekend.

Got an XL. Now building wheels. Suggestions on headset bearings?

I picked up the BXT branded set on eBay when I bought my frame.

Looking like another week until wheels arrive for my build.

Frame is nice quality. Got it mocked up with a 140mm Recon.

Headset fits nicely and all the internal carbon work looks clean.

Only complaints are a few minor paint blemishes and the water bottle cage mounts are crooked.

The frame finally arrived at my house, the shipment was very fast (about ten days to France, without customs fees).
The finishes are very clean, the lines of the frame are pretty sharp and beautiful, for the assembly and the field test it will be in about ten days, I keep you updated  ;)

Great news! Mine is delivered, just need to leave work to pick it up!

I ordered one on Ebay yesterday. Not sure when it will arrive but will be running it with a 140mm fork.
