At 1.97 definitely a 21/XL. I'm 194 and ride 21/XL

Or ask the seller of your frame.
Next time, order a spare one with your frame together. It always breaks on an unpleasant point of time

Thank you for sharing all the info, I've ordered exactly the same saddle you recommended. Only wondering if you have an special seatpost as the saddle rails seems non rounded.
Can you post some pictures of the saddle rails.
I'm also very interested with this saddle.
Hey All you tall people wanting in on the FM058. Are you interested in a group buy? 50 day lead time, 30% up front. Five frame purchase.I'm in.
Just putting out feelers. I need a new bike, riding Palos on a hard tail is no fun and I am not buying a 19”.
This is for XL only. XL.
So I know you've posted around a bit with this question (mtbr and here), and I have the M9007 with this mount, and I have to say I don't really understand what the issue is. No matter whether the brake is on the seatstay or the chainstay, it's part of the sprung rear triangle, and it's going to affect suspension kinematics under braking equally. When I ride while braking in the rear I don't notice any differences in suspension activity or any lack of braking efficiency.Since you brought up suspension, is the shock tune of the aftermarket Fox a great match for the frame's kinematics?
Did you request a firm XC tune?
Very nicely written, bike looks amazing, and thank you for your impressions on a hot frame right now. This is what interests me more:A friend of mine also bought a Spark RC Pro bike, and I’ve got to say the bikes would feel identical except that my bike is 3 pounds lighter.
Would you be able to do a more scientific comparison? Like a camera fixed on both bikes recording how each frame flexes under breaking and under power? That would be totally bonkers, as there are not many people with both frames at hand. The break mount placement differs and stiffness might too. There are videos of such comparisons like this one:
The power delivery was not effected, but one frame did wobble more under full power, which effected feel. The T800/T1000 should be very stiff, so it would be very interesting how both frames compare.
I don't have the resources for doing something like this. You're definitely digging the details at this point. All I can say is that ride quality is at least the same, and components are going to make more difference than the frame just based on total weight and tire selection. My friend is happy to ride with me, but isn't likely to sit down in studio for a frame stiffness comparison...
Can you post a link of the saddle ?

It's a good one. Its incredibly lightweight and comfortable. 5 of my riding buddies bought it now that they saw mine.
Wheel, might need to send the bike to Applied Science guy () however I feel that level of magnification might not be neededbeautiful. Wondering if there was a way to check if they used T700 vs T800/T1000
Thanks, yeah I was kind of secretly wondering the same thing. If I ask I know what answer I'd get, but I'd need an electron microscope and spare samples to start looking at thread density.
I just sold my IP/CS-036 this past weekend. It was a fun bike but I'm not looking ahead to building another plus bike, probably a 27.5"x3.0" full suspension version. Peter has a CS-M04 frame that looks pretty good.
After two years of riding the -036 I enjoyed how well it rode but after getting my 29+ bike, I found the bigger tire size just made both my 057 and 036 bikes obsolete. The -036 has a steeper head tube angle that just made the bike feel twitchy and less stable on the fast sections, but it did climb really well, especially with the ability to control the suspension with the twin-loc remote lever.
I also have my 057 for sale, so if I also sell it, I will be looking at a new build. I will keep you guys up to date on what happens next.
I was a little sad to see the bike go but I think my next build will be even better. Goodbye -036.
