Did you removed the cable guides?
You mean this:

No i didn't remove it. I have seen ip-256 frames  with guiding tubes but mine didn't have them.
I did switch the  derailleur cables to get a better curves at the bar. So the cables cross in the down tube.

Inside the chainstay is some kind of tube but there is no way to see it, if you put the innercable in the little hole in bracket it comes automatic out the end of the chainstay so there must be some tube.
little hole left bottom corner:

I did measure in the middle of the toptube if you measure near the headset it will probably be around 92 cm and near the saddle around 84 cm.

Hi  I had also some trouble with Bert, I mean no answers on emails but today the postmen arrived with a wheelset sadly I had no money to  pay the customs tax  :( so Monday I have to go to the post office. Bert never sent a tracking code only a short email that he was going to send the wheel set.
So don't worry your frame will come.

Mtb2223 is that a sticker on your toptube or paint? The sticker on the headtube looks great.
I am also gone put some stickers on my frame, the xmiplay logo on the headtube and probably a name sticker.
Where did you get your stickers?

A frame size up from 21"  is not possible with a Chinese carbon frame.
I did a lot of measurements and 120mm should be the right length, i have a tall upper body and like to sit deep. ( correct english?)

The mystery about no reaction of Bert is solved apparently there was a chinese holiday. The frame is shipped tomorrow and the wheels next week.

Did I see correctly that your integrated handlebar is only 206gr? and it is 660cm wide?
What is the length of stem?
The stem length is 12 cm and yes the weight is 206gr.

Don't worry about XMIPlay. They have a good repuation. Did you get a tracking number ?
No i didn't, but i think (hope) that it's taking longer because the frame is UD glossy and the wheels 3k glossy.

The first parts arrived today and i think they look cool, added the weights to the buildlist.

Hi, I am also starting a ip-256sl build, most parts are ordered and should start arriving soon. The XMI parts are ordered from Bert at xmiplay. The response on emails was fast until the last one after the payment, after the payment i got a email that the payment was received and the frame would be send off in three days that was on 22 september. After that no reaction on emails very strange.  :(
But I am still confident that it will be okay.

I doubted a lot about the gear/groupset i wanted to use, so many choices 1/2/3x10, 1/2/3x11,  cassette and chainrings. So i decided to start with a old groupset i have the XTR m960 groupset (3x9) and see which gears i really need on a 29er.
The frame will be UD glossy and the rest of the parts 3k glossy.
Buildlist:

I hope to post soon some pictures of the frame and wheels.
