Greetings all,

Happy to find this wealth of information and observations - I really enjoy reading everyone`s opinions and experiences.  I am still in the frame-choosing state.  I was originally going to go with Yeoleo but now am leaning more toward this Peter person that everyone seems to recommend.  I am planning a 1x11 city/light trails bike, possible with rigid fork. I have built several bikes over the years - currently I am on a 2011 Intense Uzzi and my roadbike is Wilier Izoard. The latter was my first carbon build. 

I was wondering if anybody had any more thoughts on the CS-106 model on Peter`s site (vs the well-respected o57).  The 106 looks suspiciously like Intense`s Hard Eddie 29er hardtail; I am assuming they just bought a generic frame from a chinese/taiwan frame builder and branded it.  I don`t seem to see many people commenting on that frame.  I am a larger rider (188cm and 95kg) and not interested in weight saving at the expense of integrity.  But I do love the whole concept of these factory-direct unbranded frames and so may just go with the 057 for peace of mind.  And it comes in a 21" while the 106 is only 20"....

To be honest, I prefer the lines of the 106 - top tube and seat stays one continuous curved line, like the Hard Eddie. 

Any comments or links are welcome.  I`m looking forward to this winter build/project!
