I would like to buy one, are there any known breakages regarding this frame?
What are the shipping times like?

good morning, I contacted hongfu via whatsapp who sent me a photo of a frame in size xl, this disappointed me, because I discovered that there is an additional crosspiece in the upper part of the shock absorber.
this makes it aesthetically ugly and will surely weigh a few grams more.

Ouch it’s ugly to say the least! Does also L size have the same big reinforcement?

I don't know, you have to ask them, by the way I discovered it by chance because I asked to see a frame with a matte UD finish and they sent me this photo, then I asked for clarification and they explained to me that the XL size has the crosspiece, if I hadn't asked about the color I wouldn't have found out about the crosspiece.

Hi I just ordered new wheels from elite wheels for this frame, and I now have a major doubt  :o The measure of the rear axle for the rear hub is 12 x 148 (boost) right? Is it correct? In the options was the biggest one.
Thanks!!

hi, i'm sending you some photos of the assembly i did for a friend of mine with the hongfu fm138 in size s, which now has the gemini replica handlebar. My friend has had the bike for 7 months now and is very happy with its performance.

I'm looking for some advice on frame size. I'm 176 cm tall and I'm currently riding a Rockrider XC900S size L with a reach of 436.  HongFu size M, which surprisingly has the same reach. I'm wondering if the M HongFu might be too small for me. What size HongFu FM138 frame did you choose and what is your height??
