Does it count if this is my 10th post?
I'd love a Workswell M-145

31.6mm seat tube (someone talk me out of it, I only really want the option of running a dropper later on).

Dropper posts comes in 3 popular seat post size nowadays.

This is true, though the options for 27.2 are more limited compared to 31.6mm.

Well, for those following I scored an Avanti Competitor Team Carbon frame and a fairly worn out DT Swiss XXM fork and xtrail cranks for $100.
Weighed it this afternoon and it was about 2.75kg with cranks, xt clip in pedals sram x9 Rd and a brake calliper.
It's a little rough, but hey, for $100 why not!

No, I havent asked, but it would seem unlikely that they would do a BSA as all their models seem to be PF30

Any comments on this frame? http://flyxii.com/en/products/flx-fr-202.html

Awesome looking project.
I am really close to buying one myself.
Can you tell me what tyre size you use?

Is there a max tyre size for the frames I listed?

I remember reading that one of the frames is 2.2 max.

Also the M901 has caught my eye as an option. Any comments on this frame?

Hi Guys,

Nice forum, lots of info around. Almost too much haha.

I need some direction. I'm convinced that I'm going to get a Chinese carbon frame to build up. It's main use will be a commuter, but I'll also show it some dirt. My other bike is a Giant Trance X 29er. I'm looking for something I can build up with my spare/replaced/superseded parts.

I'm stuck between: Tideace M009, Workswell 062, IP-057 IP-M901 (this looks really nice).

Things I would like:

31.6mm seat tube (someone talk me out of it, I only really want the option of running a dropper later on).
2.3 inch tyres
Changable rear dropouts (spare wheels are 135mm, but I have some 142mm wheels which might end up on it)
Fun/Fast - not looking for a race bike, but it would be good to have a faster bike than the Trance.

What can you recommend me?

I can get a tideace off ebay for AUD$400 delivered which is the most tempting so far for my first Chiner.
Should I do it, is there something better?

Looking forward to hearing what you have to say.

Cheers, Tom.

Hey Guys,

I'm really close to ordering one of these frames. Can someone please tell me the most reputable seller to buy through?
Also, any comments on this frame VS the Tideace FM-M009?

My main aim for this bike is to mainly use it for commuting, but also to give me the option of riding a HT (currently ride a 2014 Trance X29er).
