The hongfu FM258 was really cool, but without trunnion mount and geometry is less modern as two others.
I find the Carbonda a little to extreme, so this LightCarbon is a really good compromise for me.
I stumbled across the photo of this bike which I really liked (I'm not talking about paintjob...), and after a lot of research I discovered that it was about this frame. It is therefore mounted in 100/100 and that does not seem to degrade the geometry.

The photo looks like a standard rather than trunnion-mount shock.

Guessing the 40mm rather than 45mm should give the 100mm then. sounds a decent option then. Thanks

Maybe a daft question but does anyone know what shock this could be run with for a 100/100 setup? and would the bike 'work'?... obviously not in the literal sense, just more in the sense of lowering a range rover won't make it a go kart...

Ideally looking for a full sus marathon bike, 100/100 - trunion and boost... usual suspects such as hong-fu 258 and carbonda 936 considered, but who doesn't like something new!!!.
