This is the closest I've found: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000686903353.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.28.68063cc60SRHWu
Geo chart is identical except for chainstay length and wheelbase being 9mm and 8mm longer. Haven't heard of the brand but there are a few other unknown sellers on Ali with it too.

Airwolf and Spcycle are selling this frame too:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002993932591.html?

There are also many smaller shops offering it.

My guess is that Trifox and these are the same mold, but Trifox just copied the complete geometry chart of the Epic HT, whereas the others either have a typo or just tell the truth.

I'm so disappointed.  I put an order through to Carbonda for a FlyBike FM916 XL/21" frame, which is pretty much the only XL hardtail with somewhat modern XC geo.  Money sent, custom paint agreed, good to go.  A week after I've paid for my order they've sold it to someone else and have no more stock

Yeah, looks interesting. Down Country-ish 120mm hardtail.

I ended up getting the Trifox. It does have 3 ports in the headtube, allowing for the internal dropper cable.

Overall, the quality is v good. I weighted the bare large frame at 912 grms.

Supplied seatpost is rubbish, a good bit less than 30.9, so loose in the frame and slipped during 1st ride. Dropper in there now.
The rear brake threads were tight, and I needed to add washers to the caliper bolt as the hole in the frame was not that deep.
The rear derailleur exit port was poor. I needed to dremel out the insert so I could feed in the outer casing.
I got the 740mm trifox flat bars, seem good quality and I weighed them at 152 grms.
Threaded BB is nice, 73mm so no spacers required.
2.35 maxxis tyres fit fine with good clearance.
The rest of the build was XT/SLX mix. Wheels are ztto microspline hubs with carbonbearm rims. 1450 grms. Snail china xtr chainring copy is nice.

I haven't seen this posted here yet, but is probably the best geo I've found in an XL frame so far.

68.5 HA
74 STA
471 reach (XL)
435 chainstay

Follow up on the Workswell WCB-M-336 above. 519usd plus 12usd for thru axle. Another 275usd shipping to Australia! Very expensive for a hardtail tbh.  Comes to the same price as the Planet X On One Whippet which is a Open Mould FlyBike FM916, but at least it will have a somewhat better level of support.

I did order two M29 from Haideli, 69ºHA and 425mm chainstay in size M.
With a more reasonable and usual price for a HT: $350, then with accessories, paint and shipping to Europe at about $1400 for both.

Hi guys,

does anyone know this frame?:

http://sunpeed.com/product/sunpeed-rock/

I think it is very similar to the new model that Rockrider is going to use (rockrider race 900) as well.
