Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29 I stripped and repainted a Carbon genius. I used Spraymax 2K epoxy primer. I don't think I would use anything but this.
Color coats by Montana Gold, 2K clear again from Spraymax.

The 2k prime and clear products are the important part. The color coat could be whatever you wish.

I enquired about ordering one. Frames are not available to purchase from the manufacturer until March 2021.
It's now March 2021. Any more info as to who was producing this?
:)

Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread! I see, my bad. Just looking at the blueprint for the 1166 frame and its 52mm top and bottom. So you're right, looks to be IS, but with a 52mm upper that means it would be internal cable compatible.
Generally not a fan of IS headsets though as I  feel like it'd be easier to be out of tolerance that zs. Actually I know of one person that's had 2x Evolve frames with wacky headset machining. I've even had it with a big brand Taiwanese made frame.

Re: Chinese Santa Cruz/AM831 I see the Hightower wont, but any idea if this close will fit an X2 rear shock?

Re: Tideace FS-AM831 New Groupbuy (B) Order All fair enough, I didn't intend for that but in retrospect did deserve it.
I inquired about this frame, I was a potential customer, I still might be down the road but waiting on the M930, M940 and FM1003 frames to be available in small as these suit my travel/shock specs and usage better.
I have no problem with developing a product and its great whats coming out, however, many of the vendors here have evidently struggled with hardware and hardware fitment being a weak point in their production models across many of their frames. There is a UK shop trialing the FM936 but producing their own pivot hardware to make it a viable option to their customers and we also see Evolve going the cascade route and apparently producing their own linkage for the p9.
To include this one specific picture does nothing to bringing these vendors into a more polished light when they are already challenged enough with their lack of customer direct service skills through both the language, cultural and experience barriers.
Its a negative marketing image that should've been omitted, that's my issue. I mean we've certainly seen some "interesting" chiner full builds that have been put together by the end user that wont float everyone boat.
Eddy has every opportunity to respond to the question posed or other questions posted previously r.e. specific hardware sizes, confirmed need for a crown spacer. Consider that due to its close copy nature, its unlikely that there will be any commercial bulk orders of this frame and Chinertown readers will likely make up a significant portion of the customers for this frame.

For constructive criticism, Can I suggest that Haideli's team pay more attention to the details on what they are producing and how they market it.

Sorry if that bothered me.

Re: Chinese 650B FS frame with modern geometry? Top-fire FSM940 with 11mm bb drop and 435mm rear center looks entirely 27.5 suitable as a clash alternative. M930 also worth a look
Once available in small, I'll buy as a DH build for my tweenager

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame This is the perfect Porsche for this forum :)

(Just jesting though and yanking your chain, I'd rather drive your 928 than my mazda5)

Re: New Enduro Frame FS830 Perhaps top-fire might be more forthcoming with linkage details?
