Chainstays are 8mm longer than the Scott
  • No XL Version available (so nothing for me)
The newsletter about bike show did mention 21" version, but actual web site does not. Maybe they'll make it available later. Never hurts to ask directly.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Here is my build..First bike build ever... easier after i got all the parts / tools, but still took much longer than expected ( Fork and dropper post took 5 months to come due to backorder ). Just need to reduce size of cables / cut steerer tube )and having some issues with the derailleur goes to 11-12 gears..

10.5 kg.. total weight, cost about $4K

I am just compiling the parts list.. will post the link. Thanks for all the folks who helped.. several of you went over and above to help me put the bike together..

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts 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.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Here is my bling build !

The weather isn't very nice here, so only two ~70km rides so far.
But I loved every instant of them, a smile from one ear to the other, even once when I crashed it :o

Not sure if it is the geometry, the full suspension, the seatpost or the electronic shifting in particular, but this has little in common with my past hardtail riding.

It is a size M SL.
OG-Evkin bar
Ligthbicyle XC925 wheelset with DT-Swiss EXP 240.
XX1 AXS derailleur + Blipbox + Multiclics
SID Ultimate 120mm and SIDLuxe shock 42.5mm
Piccola brakes
Reverb AXS
2.35 tires.
And 10,1kg

The commands are, left click easier gear, right click harder gear.
Click on both for the seatpost.

I was hoping for a more greenish blue, than this reddish one, but I start to get used to it  ::)

I'm still testing different 3D printed mounts for the blips for different positions.
For now the cables are taped below the bar, my plan was to make them go through the bar end and exit through one of the mount holes.
But there was some sun, and I preferred to go ride than work more on it. Maybe later.

Looks so trick! How do you like the OG-EVKIN bar? :)
The look impresses around me for sure.
Was too wide at 800mm. I did cut 20mm on each side.

The angles feels good to me.
I'll see on a long distance ride how it fits.

@carbonazza More info on the paint please?

Blue color, fade to black, to clear coat?
It is the same pattern as the picture attached.
But with transparent blue instead of orange( you can see the carbon weaves through it ).
Then a black belt ( not really what I asked, but ok ).
Then clear coat ( I asked for ceramic, not sure I got it  :D )

Re: Carbonda FM936 Sizing I would say it depends a bit on your type of riding. Can you describe the terrain you intend to use it on?

Re: Carbonda FM936 Sizing Your height is one part of the equation.
Your inseam, torso length, arm length play a role too.
If you have them standard or short legs, you can go for a L.
If you have long legs vs. torso a M may be better.
I'm 178cm, long legs, and the M is perfect with this 65mm bar: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002037520210.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dVEteNM

Re: Ican S3 XC Frame Got it built up today. I bought an imperial thread file and another bb52 and got it sorted. Made up a trunnion adaptor and got it all together.

I'm racing an enduro this weekend so won't get to ride it until next week some time unfortunately. Driveway test feels good though, and as suspected the feel is very similar to my Enduro.

Go with the 40. 42.5 gets nothing more than a risk to the warranty. I wonder if the cracks referenced to the rear triangle are due to running a 42.5.

I think this is bs...lots of us use the 42.5 without any issues!
Same frame is used by several other resellers also with 42.5/110mm travel.

So would go with 42.5. rs deluxe can somethimes be found for nice price.
