 I finally got my replacement bolt after requesting it via WhatsApp and can report that it cleared up the clicking noise and play in the shock mount. The bike rips and is super fun. We'll see what other issues arise though.

Here's my bike finally fully assembled:
Frame: Large
Rear Shock: SideLuxe Ultimate
Fork: Fox 34 140mm
Seatpost: PNW Loam 150mm
Dropper Remote: Ztto
Saddle: Ryet 3d printed
Handlebar: ToSeek
Stem: ToSeek 70mm
Grips: ESI Chunky
Brakes: Ztto M1 X4/X2
Wheelset Ryet 33x30mm ratchet
Rotors: Sram Centerline
BB: Shimano XT
Crankset: Senicx FM2
Chainring: Zrace 32t
Pedals: XT
Cassette: Speedao 10-50t
Shifter: Sram GX Eagle
Rear Derailleur: Sram XO Eagle

I haven't weighed it while fully assembled but it should be around 12.5kg based on individual part weight.

Ride quality is pretty good. As previously state, the bearings are definitely garbage so those will need to be changed out shortly.

Why dud you finally decide on the Sid luxe? I’m either getting that or the Fox Float. I can get either one for around $200. Not sure what shock is best for this frame. I e asked tantan this question but doubt they will give me the same thought out answer that a more mainstream company would. I could be wrong.

I went with the sid because it was a good deal. I got it used for like $120 and it's tuned for a Transition Spur which isn't ideal but so far it's been fine.

Hello everyone. Question for frame owners. How long did it take to make the frame (from payment to mailing)?

[akuutti247]

Hello

I checked my e-mail. It took exactly 4 weeks. Could be improved..

Pedimos dos cuadros primera semana de noviembre. Y nos llegaron en Febrero.

Me dijo Rose que había muchos pedidos.

Si lo has comprado. Te recomiendo que lo primero que hagas es cambiar todos los rodamientos. Los rodamientos, son todos una basura, muy muy mala calidad

I just got my 121. It was shipped with out the plastic piece where the shock goes that usually comes with a new frame. The rear triangle/swing arm barely moves, like it has a spring somewhere. Was yours like this? Maybe this is part of the design? I took out the main pivot on the bottom and without that everything else moves freely.

This frame has flex points at the seat stays, so you won't be able to move it unless you apply a lot of force, and you'll only be able to do so with your own weight.

I was also scared when it arrived and saw that it wouldn't move. Then, if you stop and think about it and see the angle the seat stays give, it's impossible for them to move.

Once you put the frame and wheels on, you'll see how it flexes with your weight without any problem.

The plastic didn't come with it for me either; it came with a thick cable tie holding the two parts together.

I'll give you the advice we talked about: before assembling it, change all the bearings. They probably even arrived painted... the frame is quality, but the bearings are very, very poor.

Does it matter the bearing type, like “du” or “rs” ? Seems like the important thing is the size, like 6800. Seems hard to find the du bearing. Other designations are easier to get like the “2rs”.

Here I am guys, I finally managed to try the bike.
the assembly is as follows:
-Frame fm121 size XL

Hi!

Looking into this frame, but wondering about sizing. May I ask how tall you are riding the XL?

[niklass]

RC 440 mm...

Do I understand the numbers right here? 510mm fork is 100mm travel right? And the frame with 190x40 have a 120mm travel?

[gas0fa]

Hello bangacan,  I have installed the RS bearings.
