Re: cybrsrce AM831 build
Finished with the seat tube bore, that was a chore. Reamer tool worked great except it was about 20mm too short so I had to remove the handle and rig up a big wrench and a 3/4in socket with some metal to shim it from slipping. Took me about 3 hours but seat post can shimmy all the way down to the collar so mission accomplished. Just a note, the 170mm Reverb AXS has about the same height of total exposed seat post as a 210mm OneUp v2. All clear!  Proper height  Got the generic banjos for the calipers, they're aluminum and look pretty nice. They have an integrated barb but the olive was really thin and hard to get over the braided hose. I had to shave off some of the outer housing to get them on. Seem to be good, at least no leaks.    Some dirty oil from the rear bleed, front was even darker.  Half ass cockpit shot, levers are just hand tight from bleeding.

Re: cybrsrce AM831 build
Nice looking bike! Thanks for taking the time to post all of the pictures. Waiting on mine to ship. Ordered the whole xt build in the matte orange. Had them switch to tubeless rims. Almost went with the gray and seeing yours is making me regret not going in that direction! I’ll be modifying and changing over some parts as well. Got the charger 2.1 damper for the 160 Yari and some 8120 calipers for a start. I’ll post some pictures when it comes in Thanks, I was looking for a 2020 Hightower frame in this gray but I could only find full bikes with an awful mix of components - and crazy prices. I assume that is a new Yari with the complete bike build? I have a 2021 Yari and the new MC damper feels pretty close to an older Lyrik. Just in case you wanted to give it a few rides to see if the charger is necessary. I have a 130mm on a 29+ hardtail though and it doesn't see a lot of super chunky terrain, but it is still pretty plush. XT 4-piston brakes are my favorite, durable and powerful, that is definitely a worthwhile upgrade. Quick setup ride and this frame is really nice, you're going to enjoy it.

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread!
Fair Warning. Ive had my share of liars and cheats in my dealings domestically and overseas. But I have never experienced a more deceitful dealing than with Eddy and haidelibicycle. I placed an order for an 831 frame early December. But after reading all the negative reviews I quickly switched to the 830 frame. I was assured the size I needed was in stock and the frame will be painted shortly. After nearly 7 weeks of stalling (frame is being painted .....) I threatened to dispute the payment with paypal unless I received a shipment tracking for my address. All of a sudden, someone made a mistake and only a black frame was available in my size. I repeatedly asked to cancel the order and be refunded. "Oh since you waited, we will send you a gift..." bull$it. Finally, said in no uncertain terms, I was done with haidelibicycle and no longer want anything to do with them. Eddy said refund was on the way. Guess what no such refund or any acknowledgment. I did file a dispute with paypal and provided the 10 pages of correspondence with Eddy (or whatever is his real name). I dont know what will become of my payment. Disregard this warning at you own expense.
