I came to the same conclusion as you! Best combo of geometry / boost / price I could find.

Mine arrived yesterday and I'll post more once the build is done. The Airwolf store on Aliexpress was very responsive and sent pics before shipping. In total it took 6 weeks from ordering to delivery. I think painting delayed it quite a bit.

I'd hesitate to recommend it yet because I haven't built it, but experience has been great so far and finish seems excellent. I don't have the issues mentioned in the post above: dropouts are fine and aligned, and my fork (2018 Sid RL) clears the downtube on my size large frame. The 2.4 inch max tire clearance seems conservative. I've test fitted a 2.35 Barzo on a 30mm rim and there is quite a bit of room.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the feedback!
I pulled the trigger last night anyway lol so will have to wait for it to come into the UK now.

I have a lot of components to swap and hope to get a build of about 8.5kg when all is said and done

Hi. I am going to be doing my first Chinese build soon as want something I can swap parts onto.

Has anyone used this frame?: https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0eEQP5

I like the geometry and is very much like the Santa Cruz high ball I sold recently.

Thanks
Jake
