I have one of these frames on the way and am in the process of ordering the parts to build it up. I bought a DT Swiss shock for it and need to order the bushings for it. Does anyone know what the width is for the two mounting locations? These are the bushings:

Just wanted to leave a review for these Toseek carbon bars I bought recently (link at end of post). I ordered them off ebay from a seller called "bloodbike" that had really excellent reviews. The first pair of bars arrived after a few weeks and were unfortunately damaged by USPS (you could tell the bars had been dragged across the ground from the damage on the bars). I got in contact with the seller, provided pictures, and got a response within a day (seller is based in China). The seller apologized and sent me a new pair of bars without asking for the old set back (they told me I could keep them, so I have some mostly intact bars I can do some tests on if I so choose). The new bars arrived within a few weeks in perfect condition. Haven't had a chance to ride with them yet, as they are for a new build, but if you are looking for some Toseek parts and want a vendor, bloodbike is very good.

I have all of the parts in hand. Both saddles came in at 109/110g, the seatpost is 136g for a 27.2x400mm, I can't remember the bar, but I think right around 140g for 720mm flat. Haven't mounted anything so can't give any feedback on durability yet.

I bought that Signswise saddle that was in your link. Think it came out to 118 grams. Took it out for a 15 mile XC trail ride and it was great! Now we will see how it holds up over time.
