Where do you buy this, directly from them? I don't see any links to buy in their site

This looks interesting.  Especially as the reach on the FM909 is so ridiculously long, which doesn't really suit me.  Though as you're losing more than 2 degrees of seat angle here, the effective reach loss will be a lot less than the 40mm that the raw number suggests.

and costs less than the 909 frame. Geometry can be said to be standard for today, angles 67/76 and 470mm reach in L size

Have you gotten any information about pricing etc. to Europe for the frame?
Is it still 650 + shipping as mentioned in the first post.

Just ordered the frame this morning. Was more straightforward than some of the other manufacturers that I've dealt with. I'll post again as soon as I receive it and give an assessment of how it compares in quality to Carbonda and LightCarbon.

i order last week this frame, my experience with HongFu are,
quality very good
service also,
delivery time very long
we will see how long this frame will take to come to Holland , the last one take 6 months, they tell me 2 weeks before finish the frame and then send to me, but last year they tell the same.
now looking for the rest of the bike,
allready order XX SL transmission group and Fox shock.

The most important and interesting question is what size bottles size into the frame?

(visually the hinge of the suspension arm protrudes forward too much, blocking the possibility of placing a large bottle)

I have also just ordered a frame, with custom painting.
They told me that the paint time would be 2-3 weeks.

I have had 2 frames from HongFu before and am really happy with the quality (both road frames).
First time building a full suspension, so looking forward to it.
