Thought I had better check for some of the issues that have been discussed on the forum and sure enough the lower pivot bolt is nearly 82mm - one clean cut with a hacksaw will fix that! Any other 'niggles' I should be looking for?

Did anyone reported that issue to Wing already?

...I'm delighted both with the 1056 frame...Full internal cable routing is nice...

Did you post some pictures of the internal routing?
I quickly scanned the forum but couldn't find any.
I'm thinking moving the components of my Canyon to that frame next season, and do the internal routing.

This is a tank ready for everything !
I look forward for your test ride on trails.
Can you get a full compression of the shock ?

Are you designing/sewing the bags yourself ?
What sewing machine do you have for that ?

...I 3D printed my own bracket...
That is a well designed option. Thanks !!
What material did you use to 3D print it ?
I started to use Fusion360(a great software) to do these kind of things  8)

In my quest for having two bottles with me for marathon rides.

Anyone tried this kind of mount ?

It allows to have two bottles side by side.

Is Chinatown offensive?
Although I don't really know what "Chiner" is supposed to mean in this context though..

It comes from 29er I think.

Headsets(bottom) and BB bearings tend to die whatever their quality, as I ride in the wet.
The cheap ones from Aliexpress are fine for that. And I change them when dead.

All other bearings for wheels, pedals and pivots, either SKF or Enduro depending on the online price and availability.

EDIT: I just saw the £... but it may help others

If it can help you in a way.
I'm 10cm shorter than you, but just 2cm inseam less.
And I'm with a M with a 60mm integrated stem/bar.

With an XL, your saddle will be much lower than me in the frame, the reach is just 45mm longer than M.
So if you select a shorter stem, you get even more flexibility to fit the bike well.

Same thing happened when I asked about a specific color.  Just their stock ones in glossy or matte or the chameleon color.

Alas... few years ago they were coming with their limited colors, but were ok to paint it in any color.
Other builders still do.

Here you go

In general they can do any color you want, as long as you provide the right Pantone or RAL reference.
Here is a sheet with Pantone ones: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UZ6UEuG95xwcYVxeFkX9yzxlZV7NgETX8P8weUrZIV4/edit?usp=sharing

Beware your screen will show a color differently than the real one.

Look for a color you like, and then search pictures with the reference on the web.
To see items painted in that color. Again this is false colors, but it gives a better idea.

And the best is to look at physical color chart in a paint shop for instance.

Then you can draw patterns, add sequins, or a metallic effect, etc. at extra cost.

Maiden voyage completed:  8)
Lovely !! :D

I would really like to know one day what's behind all these frames. As here, the front is the FM936.
Are they designed by some western brands or Chinese designers ?
Are there many molds and building sites ?
I'm with this for 7 years now, and it is still an opaque cloud.
