Any thoughts or updates on this one?

Im tempted to leap given it looks like a good fit for me.

Does anyone know what mounting hardware this frame requires for the rear shock and a Rockshox shock?

Ah, I understand
Have ordered one of those mounting kits and some of these washers

Hi, using that hardware, which bolt will you use?

Can you share a picture of exactly how it's setup?

TanTan promised to send a steel bolt once it's manufactured, but I don't fancy waiting for them to sort that out.

That sucks. I've just messaged and my rep said they're replacing the bolt with a stainless steel version. I've asked for a replacement as I really don't want to have it fail and potentially cause a crash. Let's see what they say.

Dang. I took that to mean you wouldn't go 19" because it was too big for you. Maybe you did.

I got the 17.5 and had issues with the dropper being too long. I had to return it and get another model with the same drop, but shorter overall stack.

Paint was like an extra £60.

It looks like it had the mount for a regular braze-on derailleur - no adapter in the box.

Typically you can go +/- 10mm on the front travel without too much trouble. Any more and you start affecting the head angle too much and placing a stress on the head tube that the frame wasn't designed for. If you want less travel, I'd probably recommend a different frame - there are a few lighter ones designed for shorter travel forks.

Sure! It's a RS Monarch RT3 200x57. Bought locally.

Paint is a custom purple in matte. Still waiting on the seatpost so no rides yet.

I asked the store to include the axle and collar and they kindly did.

Sure, it was from the Seraph Factory Store on AliExpress. The lady I spoke to said it was the same as the Seraph Official Store, I was speaking to them both. Mine does have the cups bonded in.

Mine has arrived, and built up yesterday. Few minor niggles here and there with the paint and brake mounts, but mostly quite an easy build. Waiting on a new dropper as the Pro Koryak 150mm was too long at 467mm.

Hi Skelt, welcome.

Now that you know about it have you contacted the seller to get a replacement rear triangle / rocker arms?  They should be able to send you correct stuff.

I've sent them a message, should i get it for free?

Yes, it's covered by the warranty they offer. Any refusal on their part would certainly be grounds for a dispute/escalation from your credit card.

Hey Guitsboy, interesting solution on the stainless steel tube. Do you have a link to the eBay listing?

That's great news. Mine is yet to ship so I'm just waiting for confirmation they will include the updated pieces on mine.

I've pointed my rep at Seraph towards this thread. She says she's looking into a solution. Hopefully they come up with something suitable.

That's interesting because Spcycle sell what looks to be the same frame but have it listed at 185/50-55. From the picture, it does look like the metal swing join is different so I assumed Seraph made their own design to support different shock lengths.
