Meinier M09 Linkage and Pivot Bearings

[JeffersOG]

Hi all,
Earlier in the week I pulled the trigger on a Meinier M09 carbon full sus cross country frame. From what I've read here the bearings in these open mold frames are trash. How many of you have experience with pulling the bearings from unfinished open mold frames? Is anyone reading rocking this frame?
