Lexon 258 Full-Suspension XC

[adbosch]

@Flummox: Yes i paid taxes (38,77 euro. ) It was shipped to LIege line hall and after that it went to Den Haag Imec . Imec is a department of Postnl, they arrange the custom clearance and charged me the 38,77 Euro. The package staid there for a week.

I found some info on the site of hong-fu about the tires: Suitable tire 148*2.3" (boost)
But i will ask lexon to be sure.

 Thanks @adbosch! Lexon confirmed that 2.35 is the maximum width supported. Hwpaints did a check on his orange hong fu monster and that makes it double confirmed. Wider than 2.35 wont fit, that leaves too little clearance.

I am also looking to get one of these, can you tell me which parts of the frame detailing is painted? I have heard that some of it is stick on decals!
How is the DNM Shock? There are some reviews that it's pretty good, great value for money. I'm thinking I will go for the Rockshox option though.

Looks really slick I have to say, I am planning to get groupset off AliExpress too (Shimano XT) My road bike I also got brakes and Crankset Shimano Ultegra and it's good stuff.
Cheers

I placed my order for the Titan frame with the Rockshox shock yesterday.
Really looking forward to receiving it, but it will probably take another 4 to 5 weeks.

Hey @adbosch, that frame looks amazing!

I'm also looking to buy from The Netherlands, I guess you used Aliexpress standard shipping since it came so fast and sellers choice shipping should have been tax free?

And for the people looking for cheap shocks for this frame, there's also the SR Suntour Raidon LO, around the same price as the DNM, but 38 mm travel instead of 35 mm, though not adjustable.

Still undecided between this Lexon and the Seraph FM027 which is €140 cheaper...

@ Marcel

Lexon raised there price with almost 200,- euro. Crazy prices now. Even the shipping costs went from 51,- to the Netherlands to 137,-
I paid 669 including dnm shock and shippind costs, now i want to order another one and i have to pay 856,-

I think it is overpriced at the moment and will look for another brand/frame

Any suggestion are welcome

@adbosch:

I'm pretty sure that's just the shipping price that got raised.
Since you paid tax and got it so fast, you probably chose the Aliexpress standard shipping, this option is now €200!
That's why I was so confused when I saw how fast you got the frame with how little you paid.

See screenshot for other frames around this price point, prices are including tax-free slow shipping to The Netherlands, but only the Seraph and BXT come close to what you originally paid for your Lexon.

Edit: Oh no wait, your graphite blue frame with DNM and standard shipping is now EUR 919!

@MArcel

Hi Marcel,

I didn't chose for Aliexpress standard shipping ( Wich is now 200,-)

I paid 618,- for the frame with dnm shock and 51,- for seller's choice shipping. total 669,-
Now i have to pay 718,- for the frame with shock and 137,- for seller's choice shipping. total 855,-

It took about a month before i received the frame wile Lexon told me it was in stock.
They send the frame two weeks after payment.

[Flummox]

Yeah I saw the same with the Trifox sdy20 frame I've ordered 7 week back, its 120 euro's more expensive atm.
I think it's still a very nice frame and ordered it. The shipping costs were my biggest doubt, but I hear everywhere that there is an enormous demand for shipping so I don't think that will be resolved any time soon.

What I also noticed that there was a 38 euro variance between the different payment methods (iDeal, PayPal & Mastercard). In my case Mastercard used the latest exchange rates, which was beneficial as the rates were in favour of the Euro past weekend. Might also be worth validating, 5 minutes well spend in my case.

This weekend i've finished my first DIY Project...... My NMP Tattoo limited Edition  ...

It's Mettalic Black with Hologram Glitter and Gold Lettering, logos and Graphics with a Gloss Finish. This took me about a little more than one month to prepare, paint and build.

Here are some photos of the finished build..

i've ordered the frame 18-03-21 and received it on the 22th of April.
It took about a week to get it through custom clearance.

Anyways i'am very satisfied with this frame.

Do you know the weight of the frame? It is one of my options...
