I'm going to build a new xc bike but I'm undecided between 2 frames with very similar if not identical geometries, the first one is trifox sdy20 https://www.trifoxbike.com/lightweight-carbon-mtb-hardtail-frame-boost-sdy20 (https://www.trifoxbike.com/lightweight-carbon-mtb-hardtail-frame-boost-sdy20) (890g size L,659$+95$ for shipping to italy, I saw some discount codes under youtube videos that discount the frame by 15% ), the second one is the Spcycle SP-M05 https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005002982566507.html?dp=2ecfe8c6902a4a1c52359c2fa6bb3e0c&af=240682&cv=47843&afref=http%3A%2F%2Fchinertown.com%2F&mall_affr=pr3&utm_source=admitad&utm_medium=cpa&utm_campaign=240682&utm_content=47843&dp=2ecfe8c6902a4a1c52359c2fa6bb3e0c&af=240682&cv=47843&afref=http%3A%2F%2Fchinertown.com%2F&mall_affr=pr3&utm_source=admitad&utm_medium=cpa&utm_campaign=240682&utm_content=47843&aff_fcid=6353745456fe4663a80881f8f88261a4-1669127466521-09799-_ePNSNV&aff_fsk=_ePNSNV&aff_platform=portals-tool&sk=_ePNSNV&aff_trace_key=6353745456fe4663a80881f8f88261a4-1669127466521-09799-_ePNSNV&terminal_id=12a64587d1774140963a40a2ee496e18&afSmartRedirect=y (https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005002982566507.html?dp=2ecfe8c6902a4a1c52359c2fa6bb3e0c&af=240682&cv=47843&afref=http%3A%2F%2Fchinertown.com%2F&mall_affr=pr3&utm_source=admitad&utm_medium=cpa&utm_campaign=240682&utm_content=47843&dp=2ecfe8c6902a4a1c52359c2fa6bb3e0c&af=240682&cv=47843&afref=http%3A%2F%2Fchinertown.com%2F&mall_affr=pr3&utm_source=admitad&utm_medium=cpa&utm_campaign=240682&utm_content=47843&aff_fcid=6353745456fe4663a80881f8f88261a4-1669127466521-09799-_ePNSNV&aff_fsk=_ePNSNV&aff_platform=portals-tool&sk=_ePNSNV&aff_trace_key=6353745456fe4663a80881f8f88261a4-1669127466521-09799-_ePNSNV&terminal_id=12a64587d1774140963a40a2ee496e18&afSmartRedirect=y) (980g/1000g size L, 403Є+48Є for shipping to italy, i am a little bit scared for this frame because i seen some cracks online , i think that custom colors and no graphics is better)
trifox has always been too expensive in my opinion, and nobody understands why.
Are you ok with the old fashioned geometry?

Because they have many youtuber friends 8)
Check out the options from Carbonda and Light Cycle before deciding. Neither Trifox nor Spcycle have great reputations (though they aren't the absolute worst either).
