Thanks. I got my frames. Two of them about three weeks apart. I sent them a message telling them they had sent two and asking them what to do. They said something to the effect that I was a nice guy and I could send it back or maybe I had a friend that needed to buy it.

When will XT 1x11 be available?

If you're in the US...its all available at Art's Cyclery. UK...I'm not sure. I checked Chain Reaction and Merlin. So far they got no stock.

nsfr1206 do you need a friend to buy a frame? what size

RS VR6 · July 24, 2015, 07:14:56 PM

If anybody goes 2x on their bikes...put up on how you did it. Just curious. Since there is no cable stop or guide of any kind under the bottom bracket, I have no idea what would keep the cable and housing from flopping around.

Couple pics of how it sits now. Real happy with the frame and how it rides. I honestly don't think I'd get any more out of a frame by spending triple of what this costs. If this holds up good in the next year...my next road frame will be from Workswell also.

I did have a heck of a time chasing down a tick from the bike. If ended up being the cradle on the Syntace post.

I'm not sure. The "G2" is proprietary to Gary Fisher? The fork came from a BMC that a bike shop was parting out.

The front of the frame was looking kind of empty.

Well I finally decided to order the frame. I ordered it today August 8th. Hopefully it doesn't take too long.

18.5" frame
UD Matte
BSA bb
full carbon fork with 15mm axle

There is a 5% "sale" going on and this one had free shipping. The fork was an extra $48 so I figured I would give a shot. The total was $445.55. That seems pretty reasonable for a carbon frame and fork.

So what's the safety record on these forks? I'm not really looking forward to losing my front end on a hard hit.

Timeline:
August 8th (sat AM) - Ordered frame and fork on ebay
August 10th (mon AM) - they emailed me requesting phone number for shipping documents
August 14th (fri AM) - got an email with a tracking number
August 17th (mon PM) - emailed them on tracking website
August 18th (tues AM) - replied with website http://www.17track.net/en/
August 18th (tues AM) - tracking numbers are now active
August 22nd (sat AM) - received bike and frame. 2 weeks from order to arrival

So far everything seems to be on track and accounted for

They charge $80 shipping on most frames so I wanted to grab it before the free shipping option went away.

RS VR6 · August 08, 2015, 04:14:02 PM

Thats a great deal on the frame and fork!

bxcc · August 10, 2015, 08:42:11 AM

Well no more sale on the frame / fork combo and the free shipping went away. The frame only option for $398 with free shipping seems to still be available though.
