The company painted it. It was only a small cost for the design and paint. It’s a 29er and my son has been riding it hard and racing with it and it cleans up real nice.  Would definitely buy again from this company. Joy was a pleasure to work with.

I just used the one that came with the frame.  Fits well and works like it is supposed to.

We used all of the parts that came free with the bike.  The pressfit bb works well. At first the head set had some movement, but once I added the shims it was fine.  It all fits the frame real nice now.  I am going to use it until it can’t be used.  Works as it should and I have had no issues so far.

If you use the head set that comes with the frame, make sure you use every part given.  My son has approx. 100 race miles on this frame with nothing but a smile on his face.  Also have the tideace stem, seat post and bars on the bike and have nothing but good things to report.  Running cables was kind of a pain and did have to use the fish tape with the magnet to get the brake cables through.

That is good information to know for an upgrade in the future.  We used an older shimano deore crank set.  38t would definitely test the limitations of the frame.

You will definitely have to modify the chain line to fit anything more than a 30.  We put a 30 on my sons build and even that was a tight fit.

Yes, small.  It is my 12 year old son.  He races NICA this year. He is super pumped.

I was able to use the head set without the spacers given, however, I did use others that I had laying around.  Once the bike is complete, I will post some pictures.  Thanks for the assistance.  Without this forum, it would not have been possible.

Awesome thanks for the tip.  Does each shim have a specific spot or do you put them where needed depending on which fork is being used?

So then is there a reason why it will not fit down far enough to enter the head tube?  Due to the small diameter it will not slide down.

which headset did you end up going with?  I think that I am in the same situation.  I am having some issues with the upper bearing cup in the headset fitting on my tapered fork.  The one that came with the frame is too small.

Hi new to the forum. Just picked up an FM-M009 and am looking to put a suspension fork on it. Were you guys able to use the headset that comes with the frame or did you have to buy a new one?  Any information would be great. Awesome forum, keep up the good work.
