...I decided to get rid of the paint. That saved ~140 grams

So it is not a legend that paint is quite heavy compared to the frame weight.
Do you take into account a varnish that you may have added after ?
How did you remove the paint ? Did it take a long time ?

140 grams total including a layer of matte clear coat. Without that, 155 grams would have been saved. The frame weighs 1670 grams including all bolts, washers, bearings and the derailleur hanger. The brain shock adds about 400 grams.

This time, I removed it not by myself. But the guy used a blade to scratch it off. Maybe 10 to 15 hours of work.

I bend my derailleur hanger and need a replacement I contact workswell but seems to be out of stock for the moment and they need to "produce" they tell me.Did somebody knows of a replacement I can use on this frame?

Where are you located? I have spare derailleur hangers. QR or Thru Axle?

Have you looked at Maxxis Aspens? I'm running 2.1 EXO TR's, good tyre volume and super fast rolling and had no issues with grip with the minimal tread. Set up tubeless very easy.

No, I didn't... What's the weight?

That's a similar issue I'm dealing with. I changed the crankset, pedals, etc and it did not go away. I'm thinking it could be from where the metal BB insert meets the carbon frame.

Hi, do you still ride the frame/have the problem?

My BB shell is now creaking, too... I contacted Workswell and they offered me to send me a new BB shell and some glue. But I'm sure anyway that taking out the aluminum insert will damage the frame irreversible.

To be fair: the creaking didn't come from the BB. It came from the bearings inside the rear hub. I found that by lubing and fixing every part on the bike one by one.
BUT that doesn't solve the problem with the delamination of the seattube..
Anyway, I ride my bike and it is still lot of fun:

Thank you! I'm happy to hear, that you like what I do 

So far no news..
I had a creaking noise. It stopped for whatever reason. Seems like it was neither the broken seattube nor the bottom bracket.

For the 062 I want the same saddle as on the roadbike. The ride can't be long enough and I don't have any issues. The Romin Evo S-Works just fits my butt 
But I have to see, if I can get the saddle far enough to the front.. the rails are very short and they bend relativly early to the back of the saddle. If you take a look at Kulhavys or Sam Gaze' bikes and saddles, you know why they look how the look.
That was a problem with the Phenom S-Works, too. I just couldn't get it to the front.. I'm gonna change seatposts and/or saddle with the roadbike to look how it works out..

The next year or a bit more I won't be able to ride much except some relaxation rides, but no serious training or competition/races.. (un)fortunatly. In November we will expect addition to the family 

The 2 beauties:

I asked today and this is their reply:

Same here.. Maybe my next frame will be the FM M01, too. Or I get a used brand bike.

Looks good to me. The frame almost has the geometry as the Stumpjumper/Workswell 062.

Would be nice to know if the 29er can carry 2 bottlecages..

What can I say.... the bike is just great! 

I had no time to do any testride at home, so I had to be confident that everything works. And it does except a creaking seatpost, but I have taken all my tools and stuff with me, so it was fixed quickly. I also had to do some minor adjustments to my position on the bike, now it's fine.

For some climbs a 11-28 cassette here in the mountains would have been better.. but 11-25 was okay.

I put some mileage on the frame: 380 km and 3500 meters of climb in 4 days.. Tomorrow I will climb a pass (about 15 km and 1000 meters of climb) on my way home and that's it for the short vacation..
