Thank you for the quick reply!!
You directed me towards this frame, in the other topic, right?
Just one last question, about the size of the frame: I’m 170 cm tall, and I have an internal leg length of 80 cm, what size do you suggest? S or M?
What did you choose for yourself?

Like I am. Be safe to pick size M and with 60mm stem it's absolutelly fine.

I know I said last question, but since you’re so kind  :)
What handlebar did you mount? It looks very nice.
I saw that you’re using elite wheels, are they the pro36? How are you finding them?
I was planning to buy them as well

I do use ENT Elitewheels (6pawls), 30mm internal. They are fine. I had to replace rear hub bearings after 2nd year of use and abuse. No need for truing, they are fine.

Handlebar is from aliexpress seller "Pegasus bike Accessories Store" 780x60mm.

Is this available only by contacting them on email? Not seeing it on webshops anywhere.

Hi I just received my new frame and it’s great!!
But I found this holes in the frame  :o and I was wondering if it’s normal, if you have too on your frames, and what’s their purpose!

Thank you!!  :)

Hello

I wouldn´t be worried. It is for water to come out of the bottom bracket. Water goes inside the frame through cable holes and the bearings don´t like it.

My first version of YFM059 didn´t have the hole, but the new warranty front triangle has it. I like it.

I do have the same holes in my frame. It's for the water to come out of the frame.

Good morning, I find this frame very interesting, but I can't understand the rear travel.
On the manufacturer's website it says that you can mount a 190x40 or 45 shock absorber.
How many mm of travel does it have at the wheel with the 2 types of shock absorbers? Thanks.

I can't find the geometry table on the site. In particular I would like the geometry in the 120-120 configuration
