Looks really nice!

Regarding the storage, its the same solution as Orbea has i guess. I have a Occam SL with that Solution and it works perfectly fine!

Just saw this new frame while browsing on their website. Looks pretty good, still need to compare geometry to current XC frames to get an idea of what it could be like to ride.

why does this bike call for a 210x55 rear shock? thats 135mm of rear travel and yet its 120/100 travel?

And on the Orbea Occam 210x55 gives 150mm travel

It depends on leverage ratio of the given frame

XC frame with 210x55 rear shock
Let's check out XC rear shocks
You can only fit FOX Float SL 210x55
RockShox doesn't have a SIDLuxe model in that size. Max is 210x50

Have also some more details about frame size.
210x5X shock is popular enough, there shouldn't be any problem to get it. The only thing is not so many of them with the remote.

Cable routing is only headset - I have asked that question already to sales team.
But I think there should not be a problem to DIY it Yourself.

I am waiting for You to buy it first   :D

I have lcfs918, but prapobly will sell it, so I was thinking about LCFS980 or FM358. Priority is that frame must have room for two water bottles.

Interesting, nice looking frame. Anyone already knows how much the frame weighs?
