« on: January 22, 2018, 12:52:27 PM »
Well, I went to a real bike shop this past WE. I could try, static, several bikes, including 29" Scott Spark size M, Spark RC size L,  and 27.5 Giant Anthem size L.
I also measured my current xc machine.

My bike's TT is 595mm. And from center seat to center handlebar I have 685mm.

Spark in size M felt a little short, pretty much like my bike. A look at the geometry chart from Scott reveals TT 605mm, and 60mm stem.
Spark RC size L is more XC oriented and unfortunately the seatpost was fixed and too high. It didn't felt bad though. TT 630 and stem 80mm.
Anthem 27.5 size M felt perfect. This one has 625mm TT and 60mm stem.

This leads me to think that if I had to choose for a given size, I would go for P9 size L and adjust length with stem around 40mm.
Now I just have to choose, P9 or Lightcarbon LCFS711 with 130mm fork......

Thanks all for your support

I attach what I have, yours might be better as you can measure the real thing =)

For me it was just a quick work to see how I would fit.

I hope weather cooperates, you put brakes and make a nice review of the bike ;)

Cheers

I have modeled the frame so let me know what dimensions you need. I based my drawings on the pdf plan from mtbr, they showed to be quite accurate. At least most measures where in the mm range proximity.

Your build makes me drool ;)

I know P8 would adapt better, but I am deeply in love of the P9 looks. That's why I write here ;)

BB heigth is not extremely low. I put 170mm cranks to minimise pedal strikes, which i never get with my current bike.

My idea might be a bit different from pure Enduro bike, but I  had a 07 Kona Stinky that i loved to ride, except for the cramped position to make long rides on it and the overweight. My freeride days are gone, but I'm willing to have some fun with the bike again. My current bike is not that fun to ride :/

The thing is, I own a 100mm travel, 26", XC bike from 2011. Geometries have changed quite a lot, nor do I want to have the exact fit on the new bike.

I have done half of the work, and this weekend I will translate the measurements I took from my bike and make a three some comparison.

So far, I only have the P9 on both M & L, fitted with 29"x 2.2 wheels, 210mm long shock, Fox 34 140mm, 40mm 0ยบ stem, 35mm flat bar, 170 crankset... This is a pretty basic scheme, just to get the numbers I care about.

The only number I really know from my bike is that distance top of saddle-center of BB is 74cm.

Guys,

Which size would you recomend for a 179cm tall, 79cm inseam guy?
Intended use is a trail bike.

I plan to install a 210x50 shock to limit rear travel to ~136mm and use a 140mm front fork.
29" wheels.

Thanks for your input.

You can access the info clicking on my link, but they removed the product link of their website.

The frame looks like a Spez Stumpjumper.

Hi again,

I just got an answer from DengFu, which says: "New model M07 is not available at this moment. We are just creating mold. I think first sample will be available at the end of March. I don't have much information about it now. Sorry!"

Si we will have to wait patiently.

Hi there,

Does anybody have info about DengFu's new M07 model?
http://dengfubikes.com/MTB_FRAME/245.html

It reminds me of the Scott Genius (<2017!), but with a FSR suspension system.
I am excited to find some info about it.

Hi there,

Do you believe this frame would accept a 216x63 shock, shimmed internally to become a 216 x 60? These shocks are available so easy(=cheap) compared to the "new" metric shocks... and the 6mm offset could be reduced to just 2mm with the use of offset bushings, so it would effectively be 212x60 shock.

I love the looks of this frame compared to the P8, it looks so much "strong and fierce".

The one I posted seems to have a very good trail geometry with less extreme real seat angle than P8/P9, and 4bar rear suspension is a plus too.
But I just lack any feedback about it. Price seems fair and inline with others.
