Chinese Carbon MTB > 29er
Workswell WCB-M-062
RS VR6:
Has anybody heard of or have any experience with this frame? Looks like they give you three different BB options. Good thing is that they use a 27.2 post. I really don't want to give up or buy a new P6 Hiflex post. The 100mm headtube length (17in) seems reasonable too as the front end won't be super high. They are also claiming a ~1050gr weight.

Carbon_Dude:
Looks very, very close to my Hongfu/XMIplay FM/IP-057 frame, however my seatpost is 30.6mm. Drop outs look identical. BB options for the IP-056 is only BSA & PF30.
Otherwise, I don't like the fact that they are showing a 3D CAD model instead of the actual product.
RS VR6:
I want to see one built up. Its hard to see one when a new frame comes out. If you look on eBay...you'll see an actual frame. I wonder how it compares to the 256. I was quoted over 700 for the 256 delivered. The WCB is considerably cheaper than the 256.
Carbon_Dude:
The cable openings look very rough in that lower picture. I like the end cap on the f/d opening but if the hole around the cap is that poorly finished, I think I would just stick with an IP-057.
How does the geometry compare to the other Chiner frames?
RS VR6:
I did notice the cable routing too. It does look rough. Its *possible* that they may be early images...at least I hope so.
Its the geometry that's appealing to me. I like the reach...and the short 430mm length chainstays. I'm 5'8" and have short-ish legs with a long-ish torso.
Compared to the IP-057...the WW-062 has shorter chainstays and a slightly longer reach.
Poking around...the geometry looks like its pretty close to the 2015 Stumpjumper. Looks almost like a direct copy.
