yes, I just got a message too saying orders are open. I am curious about your issue though. I feel like I should ask about it? I don't want to buy one without your issue getting solved

Yes, asked again and the frame will be available for pre order but it is very expensive... Frame, Headset, rear Axle, spare hanger and shipping to Europe it cost around 1000$!!

I think the issue is each its own. So its hard for me to say what each frame issue will have. For me time and space wasnt on my side, i guess they rushed the asssembly of the frame and some precision is out. Eg bearing pressed in too hard and it was pitted. They say they will send a new link again.

The other imperfection is the width of the top side shick bushing mount. Easy remedy with some washer.

1000 usd? I guess its demand and supply.

Its gonna be sometime before this frame is build. Its on a budget and reasonable priced parts with the right specification (within my requirements) are sold out.

Gotta wait.

They finally replied to me with a price. It'll be around $1100 CAD all said and done. I'll have to think on it, my last FS chiner was quite a bit less than that. If it was tried and tested it might be different but I'm not sure about being a first adopter for this.

Pretty sure the Lexon Spark is a VPP frame.

74 sta. 

Perhaps i was not consice enough but i dont think there is a need to point out the specifics.

If that lexon could be 76 sta perhaps it can be a contender.

Looking closer, 45x cs.




Pretty sure the Lexon Spark is a VPP frame.
