That's some great news today ! Can't wait to see all the build post coming up in the next weeks !

Same! Finally getting excited for this. I'm not sure if it was ever confirmed but I'm hoping to finally see if a cascade link will fit.

Looking forward to seeing how these turn out, could be my next build.

Can't wait to get the shipping notification.  I just need a RD and shifter and I'm good to go.  I really wish that the GX Eagle shifters would come back in stock.

Just ordered one since I cracked the chainstay on my FM356.  I missed the group buy but I figured I would ask here since most of you here have probably already considered some of these -
What are you guys going to do for downtube protection?  That is a lot of real estate and I don't think one of the generic 1mm thick sticker types will do.  Maybe this RAAW one will work https://raawmtb.com/collections/accessories/products/downtube-guard.  If the HT one fits it could be double sided taped since this frame doesn't have the bosses to mount it.
I've been looking, are there any bash guards that work with just the front two ISCG05?  I mean, that is a really odd design decision, but whatever.
Has seat tube insertion depth be mentioned for the sizes?  I couldn't find it while searching.
Oh, out of curiosity is it actually 200mm rear rotor or 180mm?  The different Ali sellers can't seem to agree on specs for the same frame.

Downtube : probably getting protectors directly from santa cruz

Insertion: no idea yet waiting on the frame. Size small amd I have a PNW loam 170mm for it

Rear pm : 180mm for sure

[Snacks]

If they're sticking to HT dimensions for everything then this is max insertion length straight from santa cruz

Thanks.  Funny thing is I found that while trying to find the current generation HT specs as that is for the previous frame design.  I only see people saying that the new one is a bit shorter with no real numbers so I'll probably send an email to Eddy and see if someone can measure the different frame sizes.

Kydex + heat gun = custom down tube protector in your color of choice.

[emu26]

Scourge, I wonder if that is your orange frame in Eddys' pic above?

[RobertRinAustin]

I use kayak keel guard for my downtube, flexible, good protection, inexpensive, works great.

Has anyone received a shipping email yet ?

[Snacks]

No shipping email yet.

But on a side note- Eddy sent some pics of the lower link. Still need to measure it but by the looks of it the stock SC or cascade link may fit

[geekbox32]

I've gotten a tracking number from Eddie a few days ago. Frame is on its way to the US from Hong Kong
