Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
So, i received this frame, ordered from Lexon official store on aliexpress. Frame size 19, black/yellow color scheme. Frame comes with rear through axle, headset, bottom bracket (24mm axle), seatpost clamp, bolts for trunnion shock and adapter axle for regular shock mount, rubber chainstay protector. Weight - 2102 g. I've never had a carbon frame before, so cannot compare, but it seems to be well made, paint job is accurate, inside of the frame looks good without any messy bits of carbon fibre. I'm satisfied with the quality. Unfortunately, package was messed up during shipping and there is a crack in chainstay  Contacted the seller, they immediately offered to send me a replacement rear trianle, so i'll have to wait and hope it will come in one piece  If you guys are interested in some specific info/pictures - let me know. Some pics attached: Frame, both sides Frame with compressed suspension, Weight, size 19 Trunnion to regular shock mount adaptor The crack September 23, 2021, 03:36:27 AM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
I just pulled the trigger on Lexon Riot frame, Matte. I got them to throw in an extra hanger. First time buying, fingers crossed it all works out. I'll continue to update on how the purchase and bike build goes... ******** Update********* I ordered from Everjoy Industry Ltd (I know, kind of sounds like a porn name), which AliExpress indicated it was Official Lexon store, but there seems to be another seller also titled Official Lexon Store. I went with Everjoy because they had a good rating (96) and I could get the frame in matte with the Rockshox Monarch RL shock for about $50 cheaper than if I purchased it separately from the lowest I could find here in the States (hoping this wasn't a mistake). The frame and shock shipped within 2 hours of me placing the order. Communication with Everjoy has been good, I happened to be working late last night when I mad the purchase so it was daytime in China. They replied to all of my questions quickly and included photos of what was in the package. So far very pleased with the transaction. Attached is shot of the frame from Everjoy prior to shipping.

Re: Lexon or Carbonda (or....)
Why are you not considering two new entries ? That newer Lexon frame is interesting, but super short reach and front-center if the geo chart is accurate. Also says 100mm rear travel in the details but one of the images shows 110mm rear travel. The 909 is not in production yet. Supposed to start next week if there hasn't been any further delay, but still might have to wait for particular sizes to be made depending on Patch64's timeframe. October 15, 2021, 04:51:24 PM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
I am really astonished about some statements.. Did you ever see something finished just in time? Development usually has delay. Of course it's sad to wait. But currently the world is far away from normal. Besides Corona China suffers from a big lack of electricity.. did you know that? It's hard to produce something when you have no power to run the machines. Also the 707 frame was postponed several times. Now the first owners are already using their bikes. The 909 will come to us. It just takes time. Unfortunately longer than expected. But this is the same story if you order a complete bike, that is not standing around already. The 100$ predeposit is kind of fair deal. For other goods you have to make a much bigger predeposit ... October 31, 2021, 08:10:14 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
There are some good news from my order. Seemingly my frame has already come to life. I got the information from Katie that it will be painted next week. Yes i am excited. Although I don't think it will be here before January.

Re: Lexon 258 Full-Suspension XC
It took about 8 weeks for the frame to arrive per train. The build has been completed and I've already made quite a few enjoyable rides! I hope yours has also arrived Jnewman! See attached my build. November 05, 2021, 08:56:31 AM |

Re: 29er XC Hardtail - Boost - Modern Geometry

Re: Carbonda FM909
Exactly the way you described it the other week, except maybe for that section of weave. Looks really good. More pics please when you get it in your hands. Yes it came out really great. The small areas with the weave are the ( unexpected) cherry on top.  I will do photos once it is here. According to the current situation this won't be very soon. If it arrives before Christmas that would be really amazing .. so I could use the vacation for the build. But let's see.
