Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread! Gents, a 'sticker foam' for the chain stay has been included in my frame, if anyone else has received, which direction did you apply it?  :o

Re: Those with AM831 built, are you happy with it if not including flexing issue? The original question is are you happy aside from the flexing.. and it seems like a lot of complaining. Buyer beware. Your buying a knockoff enough said... ;D

My impressions have been pretty impressed with finish. This is my 3rd 'knockoff'. What helped me was past buyers who ran into trouble first building, IE: The crown race spacer, odds and ends really - made a huge difference in receiving the bike, having all the parts ready and building it. I am 5'8, riding a medium frame. My buddy is 6' and he rides it very comfortably. Is it too long for me? Maybe a cm or so, but I find I can sit inside the bike when hitting slopes that are long and fast. I got mine in the papaya orange and got some blue details that make it look like a Mclaren F1 car.

Here's my current specs;

Groupset - XT 12 speed, 4 piston brakes
Handlebars; Raceface 6C w/ blue labels
Stem; Raceface turbine stubby 35mm
MEC Grips
Raceface turbine cranks with 32T
Look trail pedals
Maxxis minions
Raceface 30mm rims with 370's

I have spoken to Eddy regarding the rear triangle and I am sitting on the fence. I don't live in a Mountain area, I ride Bromont a lot and local trails when I don't. The bike has been very good so far and you really can't beat the price with shipping to Canada.

Cheers!

Exactly what I’m looking for, looking at the possible tyre, bb, headset and rear shock options. Thanks!

If your start reading on page 9 you will get your answers your looking for. I ended up using dpx 210x51 the body fits perfectly, I believe the frame does not accommodate a spring shock. 29x2.4 max tire width or you do start getting tire rub on the rear.  You'll need a Crown race spacer pr your fork will rub the down tube. but, again all information if you read through this forum.
