29er / Re: 29er HT Choices: CS-218, CS-887-SL, MB01 or LCM904

Thanks Wal-ter for the M01 comment - indeed a good frame, as can be seen on the posts in the forum.

bxcc.. thanks for your imput. I agree, with my Scott Spark i swopped the 100mm stem to a 70mm and at first it felt very twitchy  but way more responsive, after a couple of rides i loved it! Both my bikes had +-440 Rc's up to now, i am sure i'll feel the difference if i go for a 430 RC.

710 Bars works perfect for me.

i am not likely to buy a frame that have not been discussed on this forum, and shipping cost are a big deal killer for me. Thus free shipping on AliXpress are my best option...That puts Workswell top of my list and Xiply second.

The Geo on Yishun LCM904 and Xiamen CS-218 are identical but BB choice.

With same Geo the choice boils down to Seat tube size and wheel size. I'll rather take the 2.35" and 27.2mm options as i won't ever go dropper on this frame and more tyre clearance with wider rims (which does pull the tyre wider as my Brother in law found out on his Spark 900 SL and AM Classic Wide Lighning rimms... a 2,25 did not fit but did on 19mm ali rims)

Weight wise:
Lighter = more expensive = flimsier = Much better chance of failure
Slightly Heavier = cheaper = stronger = Less chance of failure
Thus i do think a couple of grams extra are not so bad to live with ..thats frame and rims.

I just pulled the trigger on a set of Carbon hoops from SpeedSafe on AliX. 365+-10g , 160kg rider weight, Asym 25Depth, 23w 28outer.

36One race in South Africa, 361km, 36hrs... top fit in 17hrs. Montly dirt roads, non technical. I did the 181km this year in 11hrs on my Epic S-works WC. I do think a HT would be more energy efficient.

Ok old should be refrased as trusted / proven. Bulky More directed to the 057 (1280+-40g thats heavy).  I looked at 062, it’s a good choice, also proven, on/off coms with seller, had/ have some issues with internal cable routing.

The better question are: All the other mentioned frames vs the 062 frame.

My perfect TT are 609mm With a 90mm stem. thus with long legs and short arms a 620TT will give me a +-80mm stem depending on the reach. (I don’t worry that much about Stack as i have long legs...i don’t have such big kahona’s

All very simillar, CS-218 are the lightest, but 18.5” frames fits me best. (Long inside leg, short torso). I am NOT looking at the Workswell 063 or 057 frames as they are big bulky old and heavy designs. The MB01 have great geometry but looks bulky/awkward with the seat stay vibration damper.. slightly heavier than CS-218. The CS-887-SL have a massive 65mm BB drop and heavier than MB01, but TT are spot on correct lenght.

Have anyone build a CS-218 or CS-887-SL or LCM904 from Yishin Bike?

Hello everyone. Thanks for starting this forum. Peter from Xiamen Carbon Speed gave me this link and now i am a member. I look forward to start reading as i am looking at building a HT 29er for 160-360km rides. Hopefully i can buil it to less than 8.3kg. Basicaly narrowed it down to CS-218 19”, CS-887-SL 18.5” or LCM904 19” or Workswell M-062 18.5” frames. (18.5 TT are closest fit). Thanks
