This frame is also available on TaoBao (https://click.world.taobao.com/_b.Qb23Qo) with international shipping to NZ, at least.

I just found out that the TaoBao Android app has an English-language interface so I will probably purchase from there.

Right now, only the size small is available, but they will restock the other sizes after Chinese New Year.

The small frame with the non-CNC rocker link is only $650 NZD / $385 USD, including (sea) shipping to NZ, which is pretty crazy. The medium frame is $100 NZD more expensive. They also have a flex-stay version available for a bit more money, but there's no pictures of it.

I asked about dropper post insertion on the medium frame and they said it should be 200-230mm so I guess a 150-170mm dropper might be possible depending on your height.

I also asked if the red colour shown at the China Cycle show would be available and they said they have no plans for it 

Do you or anybody else know how complicated it is to buy from Tao Bao for the USA?

The AliExpress link above says "not available for shipping to me," and I am located in USA. Tao Bao seems like it might be possible, but I need to use some additional service and calculate tarriffs myself?

I got one. Overall, I like it. I am not an expert, but it felt a big large to me with 160mm fork. If I were to do it again, I'd pick up the NS Eccentric Cromo at bikesonline right now instead. The chainstays are quite long.

Haven't seen a lot of information on this frame stateside, so starting a thread. Two rides in, and my first full suspension - so I'm impressed, but also don't have a) a lot of riding experience b) full suspension experience. Short video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/xRzNJRuBrSc?si=anhQwRGzOZVf_GnL of me taking it down some of my local trails in Phoenix, AZ.

In other note: so far, the seller has been great. I rounded out some linkage bolts, and should be getting some replacement bolts for the cost of postage soon. Will update when they arrive. Frame is here: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mObXyD9

Wondering if anyone else has tried this frame, and what your findings are. Happy to answer any questions moving forward.
