That was quick, 2 hours of me riding and shock bolt snapped. The frame was nice, I was having an issue with my chain tension and the derailleur not expanded XT 12sp.

Also with a dnm 36rc 200mm it hits the part they adjusted, emailing them right now about it and a replacement bolt (will that even last 1hr longer?).

Really had plans to buy a HT frame for me and a FS for a friend.

Received my frame yesterday and have been putting it together as I wait for BB and to pickup a shock tomorrow (200x51). I got 29er wheels and I was not sure what length shock to get (vs. 185), will switch to 27.5. Wheel does not hit seat post with a continental mountain king in 2.3.

They almost sent me the FM356 until I asked about derailleur hangers. Finish on the frame for me is 'eh' with areas around the frame I have had to file/sand down. Largest issue I have is the dropper post not going in all the way due to a ring of CF that was left which I have almost smoothed out. I was considering ordering a hardtail from them for myself and a friend, but after this process I'll have to pass on it.

Good to hear it's dialing in well, and thanks for the updates, I'm dying for my frame to ship.

Well at least I have not bought a shock yet. My frame should have been shipped by now according to Tantan, but I haven't received confirmation. Was really hoping to at least use the bike in Lake Tahoe mid August for a trip.

Put a 94 rockhopper together with a cheap for fork and have been hitting the jump trails,  just so far away for the frame.

I bought 29er wheels and a fox 34 27.5+ fork for the frame. I finalized my order on June 15th and am awaiting shipping.
Trying to figure out what rear shock to purchase now. Not sure if I go 185/55 or 200/57 for better tire clearance.
