I cant find a 29" carbon hardtail frame with  "modern geo"  67/68 ish head angle/ steep seat angle,

2.35 tire is fine....NO thru headset cable routing.. threaded BB, and UDH ? 

THX ! enjoy the week !

can you explain clones versus copy versus original, open/ closed mold etc....? im still hazy in the chinertown world..

( would like to rplace my old Kona carbon hardtail with new school geo carbon HT !)

awesome!

 Meiner / Carbomania ebay site?  ok... i'll look...

Because why are there 4 Snake models here?

SmTimesfast ..this one? https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808267885848.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

hows that internal frame seatpost clamp?

wow only a few years ago 

dopestar .. did you ever build/buy a replica 29er carbon AliX Hardtail?

captainmorgan0 haha  only a few years ...

Any tips on a current modern slackish AliX carbon 29er ?

How did it go JLS1984? Did you build up a carbon HT?  What exactl specs were you looking for?
Im wanting build a carbon HT...
Not sure if Pressfit or BSA is best?
And im thinking a bit slacker (68ish) might be a more stable XC hardtail...

yes all frames seem same 30.9 seat, left side internal route, 73mm BSA,

RCE...Did you ever build up a carbon AliX 29 HT yet ? 

Whaaaat? The Team Marin is 66.5 !   

Theres a beautiful frame by Giant.. the 2025 XTC SL... but old school geo 70 degree HA... and ridiculous price.. $2300

Need counsel on 29" hardtail frame pick!

would like 67/68 ish head angle,   rather not thru heatset routing...

Rather have threaded BB.. any drawbacks to a threaded BB ? Is that T47?
(if not threaded, i would have have get a shop to pressfit right?)

Do i want UDH? any drawbacks?
Also .. why do i see on AliX only 3 or 5 or some low number of the particular frames sold?

SPCycle M08 looks good except for funky seat tube...

Meiner Snake? Airwolf YFM060 ?

Maybe 68/69 degree HA is fine.. im just thinking it'll give me a little more confidence at speed?

Most important i choose trustworthy frame and seller!

Thanks for ANY advice

The only thing to fault it with: 6mm offset chainring and the BB92...

how come? the press fit i would have go to a bike shop right? but whats up with 6mm offset chainring? is that bad match? THX!

i think its the head angle, 67 degrees,  i'd like to try.. would it be a more stable downhill xc hardtail? But not quite as quick on switchbacks?

but no .. that seat tube should not take that bend 

I'd rather be sitting straight downward to the bottom bracket.. im not light 185lbs..

Is there another carbon xc 29er hardtail with 67 degree headangle?
