Ordered a large from Eddy.  Now to look into a shock.

If you don't want to spend much, 210x55 float DPS's are just about the best price to performance out there on the used market for a totally acceptable rear shock. Not sure what tune you want (I forget what the Hightower comes with - assuming that's close enough) but there's probably some tunes to avoid. Commonly posted for like 200 bucks Canadian out here in BC.

Just paid for one A831 in size M.

I wonder what number we're at now

Hi, I'm interested in buying the frame in L size. I have sent a message to Eddy. I'll notify you here when it's confirmed and paid. Greetings

Eddy said 16 paid for frames on Thursday.

Nice.. Just so everyone knows. I ordered a few weeks ago. So far Eddy has been very good communication wise.

Let's keep this going

[Jal]

Already ordered and paid one more in size L in raw carbon. Thank you Eddy.

Hi all, I too have ordered and paid for a M frame with no paint. Shout out to Eddy, i too had a great experience.

[Rod.GL]

I just recently paid for my frame (Size S). Eddy confirmed the fork's crown does hit the frame on size S. He did not mention (and I did not ask) about this issue for the other sizes.
To solve this issue, within this thread a Reverse-components spacer or an Acros blocklock headset have been suggested. Hopefully, at least one of them works.

[Jotegr]

Pathetic. Everyone who has ordered a small should refund their frame unless they get a cup included.


The Acros headset won't work if the bike uses an IS headset, which from the photo it does.

Everybody is free to order or not - this is a group buy from OEM-manufacturer, not a real shop, online or local. So you have to make sure you know what you get.
Personally, even if you can add a spacer, I won't buy, as I am not confident in the engineering from a company that can't get a copy to work properly!
