Sizing QuestionI'd suggest a medium. I'm 6'1" on a large and this bike runs long. I think you'll be fine with a medium. It will be a major change from your Proflex which was my dream bike back in 95.
I am 179 CM (5'10.5") and fall right on the line for a M/L. What would you guys suggest? I am coming off a 1995 26' Proflex 855 size large- so zero experience with the modern GEO.
Posting pictures of my build.Bike looks great. Keep us posted how it holds up in Tahoe.
Thanks to the carbon wheels, GX groupset etc, it turned out quite light, 13.3kg.
I will eventually pain it.
I expected it to be a little more expensive than the average generic "high end", but not that much!
I sent an inquiry today and here is Wing's answer :
- FM 909 : US$ 950
- FM 909 + handlebar HB156 : US$ 1060
- headset : US$ 15
- rear axle : US$ 15
- shipping cost for one frame set : 3-10 days : US$ 230 / 15-35 days , Tax free : US$190
- standard matte : free
- UD glossy，black matte, black glossy :US$ 45
- One color: US$ 70.00
So for the frame in UD glossy finish, delivered, with handlebar, headset and rear axle there is something for USD1325, which is approximately equivalent to 1107€.
I was ready to take the plunge for this frame, I will change my mind.
I tried the plastic one, long time ago, but it did break very fast.I couldn't remember who recommended this one but I tried it and WOW, was it painful.
A pity they don't do them with a stronger material.
Maybe the recent branded 3D printed ones offer the same comfort and resist better.
I tried this one too, but it wasn't my shape.
All my bikes have this "piece of art" now:

I wonder what number we're at nowEddy said 16 paid for frames on Thursday.
Any 182cm/6' folks on large frames, what size dropper have you installed?184 cm running a 150 that is sitting on the collar.
I'm personally not a big fan of tight cycling shirts, I'm usually on long sleeves shirts, like this Columbia or The North Face shirts (see picture). But these are kinda expensive. I wonder if anyone here knows some cheap Chinese alternatives.Check out Costco.com. They usually have a good selection of tees, polos and button ups in techy fabrics. Prices will be hard to beat even from China and you can easily return what you don't like.
What are your trails like, are they buttery smooth or littered with rocks?Littered with rocks and roots with some really technical short steeps.
45mm bb drop is huge, IMO. Pedal strikes galore here with that.Run my 936 with 170 cranks and rarely have strikes. And I really like how you're more "in" the bike than on top of it. Lots of fun to lean over in corners.
Dear All,FB is for OEMs, won't sell to you. Carbonda is the retail channel.
I´m looking for to contact with Adam. By email....looks difficult. I had been in contact but.....he disappear.
I have seem that Flybike has similar frames than Carbonda.
Is there any othor method to contact with them appart of email?
I will appreciate if someone can help me. Best Regards.
Would the FM936 work for heavy riders? Or is it more for leaner guys?I'm 205 on a 936 and have no complaints. My build is 24.5 pounds and I really enjoy it. Handles the roots, rock gardens and short steeps in my area really well. I'll put it to the test this summer in the Rockies to get a better idea of how it handles the longer steep stuff.
What size of rear shock did you use on the Lcfs911?Won't work, too long eye to eye, 200 vs 165.
I would quess a 165*45?
I have a 200*48 that I would like to use, perhaps not ideal but do you think it would fit?
Anyone here with this frame north of 200lbs? I'm 6'4" 210lbs and currently debating between the fm936 or the fm909 (size XL) for my next build. Just curious as to how they hold up with a 210lbs riderI'm 6'1" and about 205 on a large. My build is a 24.5 pound 120/115ish. I've been riding it for about 3 months and have no complaints. I ride it thru some rowdy roots and rocks and it's a blast.
I am also now looking at the Ican S3 as it appears to be like the fm936 with just a non flex stay rear triangle. I have never ridden a flex stay frame and not 100% sure how they do for someone my size.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! The goal is to build a 26-28lbs 120/100mm 29" speed machine.
