I think they are from the same factory. And Spanish forum shows the old version of this frame.

Hope new version does not have this problem. At least, mine after about 2k km is going stong. Some XC races and marathons with rocky descents and uphills included  ;D

for some reason no one else writes about their long-term use with this frame :(

It would be especially interesting to compare it with carbonda 936 in terms of reliability, rigidity, and overall workmanship

At the moment, the mileage is 2500+ km and nothing has fallen off yet.

Hello

Chainstay on size L seems to be the given 438 mm. I measured with a tape measure.

Someone else asked about other meausurements but has deleted the message. Distance between rear axle and main pivot point is 435 mm and distance between rear axle and seatstay pivot is 460 mm.

I have had the frame for a month now. Longest ride has been 118 km.

Does anyone have a photo of the frame from the inside? How poorly is the carbon laid inside the frame?))

I still didn’t like the original color of the frames and decided to remove the paint from it.

looks like you changed some of the bolts on the frame? What were the ones you used?

I got it from airwolf, asked for no paint. Finish us rough close up (scratches!) But it still looks nice imo and has no finish so it's uber light

Titanium screws from AliExpress and stainless steel bushings ordered from a familiar turner.

I coated the frame with automotive wax for UV protection and added shine.
