$780 + $150 shipping to Kazakhstan (yes, today we have a problem with cheap shipping).

+ I've ordered custom paint (blue-purple chameleon) for $120

Thank you (i got the same offer except the shipping),

Tell me about it.. the shipping that is available for me is DHL: 260$  :'(, im trying now to maybe find a cheaper forwarder (wanted EMS but apparently they are down or something )

Damn that's a nice looking frame. Kinda regret going for the fs831 now instead of this!

Order process looks better also

I am also waiting the 831, it's something completely new, this is positive and negative. I considered 1002 as alternative. Time will tell which one is the best  ;D 8)

I never had such a long travel bike frame, only BXT-077 100mm FS (and bofore that banshee paradox with 120mm fork).

Steep uphills (especially with rocks) I thnk same or maybe better on 1002, as You have more forward position 

For downhill of course 1002 is way more better

That is a beautiful area to bike. Where is it?

Anybody else build up this frame yet? Wondering what your experiences with it are. Considering getting this over the FS-AM831.

I've ordered the frame but haven't received it yet. So can't tell the build or the ride quality.

Is there any way to configure this frame through different mounting spacers to have the shock right side up? Not a big deal. But it might be easier to switch the shock platform lever if one wanted to if it were on top. I would definitely like to hear some more reviews of this bike.
