Light Weight Down Country Frame

[RobertRinAustin]

Looking for a down country, or whatever you'd like to call it, frame to build up. Wanting the usual, a cross country rig with closer to enduro geometry, long, low, slack and steep.  Only option I've found is the Carbonda FM936.

Looking for
- 120 mm travel
- 66 degree or less HTA
- 76 or more STA
- Want something relatively light, less than 5.5 lbs with the shock, targeting 25 lb build
- Shortish chain stays, 435 or so
- Effective top tube of around 630 mm on a large

Any other Chiner options?

Openmold manufacturers and designs are updating themselves and there are several fashionable xc and enduro rigs. Now we miss this new category, that not so far ago was a trail bike. Now a trail bike has the same travel and more slack angles than a 2012 enduro beast

The Light Carbon 958 is another option, doesn't really check your boxes, just something to compare the FM936 to.  I've been on the lookout too, and I haven't found anything yet that's as modern as the FM936.  As far as I know, that's the main option that's 100-120mm travel, ~66 HTA, ~76 STA, long reach, etc.
