First test run around the house and it felt really good. Not too long! (XL, 45mm stem and 190cm).

May hit the trails tomorrow, but first:
Mount proper pedals
Cut steerer tube
Shorten front brake hose
Mount dropper post (if it arrives, wire already in the frame)
Fine tune and bed brakes
Anything I missed?

Looking good! Are you running a boost or non-boost crankset?

On a different note, did anyone go for paint on these frames? Any experience with paint quality from Carbonda in general?

I happily used their service on many frames: single color, multi-colors, with glitters, etc.  they can do whatever you like.
And the result was each time of high quality.

Wing is very easy to communicate about it.
Be sure to describe all the details as precisely as you can to get exactly the result you want.
And you get pictures before shipping.

And check the Pantone codes you give in real light if you can, not only on screen.

Many thanks for the feedback on that. I am yet to decide on paint vs no paint, but I guess I shouldn't overthink it.

Now considering the FM936 instead of the LightCarbon LCFS958 I was very close to buying.

In the build planning phase now. Not sure if I want to go with a DVO Sapphire (32mm) lowered to 120mm or a RockShox SID Ultimate 120mm. The Sapphire should be more stout despite having 32mm stanchions too, but the SID will save over 200g. I can't easily get the new RockShox SID 120 with 35mm stanchions.

Any thoughts?

I got my 120mm 2021 sid ultimate delivered today. Looks great in blue! 35mm legs should make it perfect for down country. Got it for €700 from hibike.

I was hoping to install all the components for at test drive this weekend but there seems to a production error on my frame. Can’t insert the seat tube as much as I need to. Spec says 280mm but I can’t insert more than 225mm. I need 260mm for the dropper I already bought. I have a dialog with wing/carbonda about it. May have to wait another month or so for a replacement... =(

2021 SID 35 would be perfect but I cannot easily buy one where I live.

Too bad about the seatpost insert. Did you check the rest of the frame measurements? Did you get an L instead of the XL (I am assuming) you ordered? Hope you get it resolved soon.
