Finally finished my build.  Size M, SL. BTLOS i30, DTswiss350, XT cassette and shifter, SLX brakes and derailleur, e*thriteen crankset, Fox elite shock (Giant Anthem 2017 model from ebay), SID Ultimate 120mm, 150mm OneUpV2 dropper.  Rekon F2.5 R2.4. 25.8lbs w pedals.

Absolutely love this bike.  Was looking for one bike that I could use on trail rides and also race in local XC events.  It ticks all the boxes.  After a few tune up rides I took it out for a hot lap yesterday on my usual 11mi loop.  To compare I'm coming off a 2017 Giant Trance w 160mm Lyric fork, and sometime ride an old but fast Schwinn Homegrown 26er hard tail.  I was within 5% of my best times on the gnarly downhill sections, and PR'd pretty much every flat or climb section.  I even cleared a huge techy hill that I've never done before.  I couldn't believe how much faster I was on this bike. Especially this early in the season.   It is about 10lbs lighter than my trance, so that's got to be part of it, but I never felt under-gunned on the downhills.  The geo and the 120mm SID felt almost as solid as the 160mm Lyric on my Trance.  I definitely bottomed out in placed where I usually don't, but tokens will fix that. 

In all, zero regrets with this bike. Thanks to everyone for sharing your builds and info.  Made the process so much easier for me.

I received my FM936 today. Fell in love immediately!

Looking a bit closer, i found a few painting mistakes. No i dont know: Is that normal with Carbonda?

That red color looks sick! Nice choice. 

Also, I was wondering how long delivery has taken for people when the frames have been in stock, and without custom paint?

I ordered a frame (SL, M, BSA) on 12-1-20.  Adam said it was in stock and would take 2-3 weeks.  By 1-5-21, 5 weeks later, I still had not received the frame.  I emailed Adam on 1-5-21 and he promptly replied, said there was a mistake and the order hadn't shipped yet but they still had a frame in stock and that he would ship out FedEx ASAP.  I received the frame yesterday 1-11-21. 

So it took me about 6 weeks, but that's because someone on Carbonda's end made a mistake.  Mistakes happen; I get that.  I'm glad that when they found out about it they quickly shipped FedEx and had a frame to the US in less than a week. 

Now I have a question. A seatpost clamp is not fully fit the frame. Is it ok or I should look for another clamp?

I'm sure it will work just fine, but might not be the best look.

Can you tell me the clamp diameter you're using? I've got a frame coming and need to order a clamp.
