Might be a challenge indeed, although my frame is size M. With this setup I can fit a regular (650 ml) and large (950 ml, as in the photo). But it barely fits, especially the regular is quite difficult to get out, I’m thinking to get another holder so i can take it from the side.
With additional flight attended unit, don’t know if there is enough space for a large bidon.

Well spotted indeed  :)

It just fits, cable end cap is rubbing a bit against the frame, but should be good.

Ending up like this was also more coincidence than on purpose. Found a second hand Sidluxe A2 2P for only 80 euro. Since I wanted to use it with a 3P Squidlock (MP11) I had to rebuild, so ordered upgrade kit which always comes with In/Out remote cable hanger. Then during rebuilding I realised that I could combine the 3P hardware with the backside cable hanger that was already on the shock. So there we are, remote cable pulley and cable sit on top, nice and clean bike :)
I was surprised by flexibility and interchangeability of the Sidluxe A2 ‘platform’, there is many options, kits and servicing is pretty simple.

Rest of components is combination of Shimano XT and XTR (brakes, shifter, derailleur). Fork a second hand Rockshox Sid SL Ultimate 3P 110mm. Wheels are self-build with DT Swiss 240 hubs and 270gr 30mm inner width rims from Ali. Total weight of the bike will be somewhere just below 10,5kg.

Let me know if there’s other questions!

Received the frame in February, and have done several rides in the meantime.
Frame is great, efficient and high quality, but also noticed mine is developing damages at exactly same spots at the suspension linkage hardware.
Surprised to see they just machined some material away, no finishing, paint or something.

Interesting, nice looking frame. Anyone already knows how much the frame weighs?

Is that for the SL version?  I'm assuming it includes the integrated handlebar based on the pictures.  That still seems like a price increase vs 936 though.

It is excluding the handlebar for sure, Adam let me know that they were still testing the handlebar, and at a later moment he could share more details.
Based on his response it looks like this is the price for the normal version, and the super light will come at a premium, but that I still need to verify.
So it indeed seems a bit of price increase compared to the FM936.

200g lighter than the FM936, isn't it ?

You're right! I thought the FM936 was also around 1700 grams, but it is slightly over 1900 grams indeed. So that is another good reason to get this one :)

Interesting! I'm going to reach out to them! Wondering what the price is.

Interesting frame! I am looking for a pure XC version (light build, 100mm fork) next to my FM936 which is still going strong after around 1000kms.
At the moment I have some doubts going for this one straight away, I am thinking to wait till there are more shops offering alternative frames with a modern geometry.
I don't see too many differences between this frame and the FM936; the geometry seems more or less the same (reach, stack, chainstay length, seat and head tube angles) as well as the weight of the (superlight) frame.

What could be more benefits of this frame compared to the FM936, next to having space for two bidons? Will the suspension design bring more benefits?

Just wondering what your considerations are, I'm planning to spend some time to dive in the suspensions designs a bit.

I indeed don't have a remote lockout, thought to convert from manual to remote myself, but appeared to be very complicated, so I still have to send the shock to a center for conversion (but is expensive). For now I don't change the shock setup during riding, which is actually also fine.

I have a regular M8100 crank (M8100-1), with 52mm chainline, there is 1cm between the chain and the chainstay.

You can route it through the frame, there is a line running through the frame already (for rear derailleur, rear brake and dropper), which you can use to guide your dropper cable through the frame itself.

Also received the frame (size M), and already build the bike with combination of XTR and XT components, with Fox Factory fork and shock, total weight is about 10,5kg.
First round in town is positive, now need to take it to the trails!

Thanks for the review numberzero!

I decided to also go for this frame, just ordered a light weight size M myself (I'm 175cm tall), will use a 50mm stem. Furthermore will build the bike with a 120mm Fox 34 Step-Cast fork, and a Fox Float DPS Factory 165x45 rear shock, XTR shifter, derailleur and brakes, for the rest all XT 12-speed drivetrain. Cockpit will be a collection of AliExpress items. I will reuse my selfbuild Newmen rim-DT Swiss 350 hub wheels from my current bike. All-in-all the bike should weigh little bit over 10kg.

@numberzero; a 165x45 trunnion mount rear shock fits right? Everywhere I see 165x40 as maximum, so I was just wondering if you had to do any modifications to let a 165x45 fit.

Sounds good! How is the handling compared to the LCFS902 frame? Is this frame the next level?

Congrats numberzero, great news!

Which components are you planning to use for your build?
I'm also planning to use a similar Fox rear shock, are you planning to install a remote? Do you know if that is even possible?

Looking forward to build pics!
