Somewhere i know that color ;) Those silver decals fit well with it!
Are saddle position and spacer turret your actual riding position?

Yip, that's where I got the inspiration for the color (sorry/not   ;D ). My saddle is in the right position. Handlebars will be lower, but since it was my first bike build I just put in the complete spacers set (I was afraid I would make the fork tube too short).

Hello, I've been following along on this forum for quite a while to pick up all kinds of tips and experiences (thanks to all of you)... then decided to make my first bike build ever.
After a long time of collecting parts, I finished my build last week and in the meantime made a first ride (in the flatlands of flanders  :D )...
It's no comparison to my 11 year old 26" Rockrider hardtail  ;D . 

It is a size M frame (N not SL), Elite wheels, Sram GX groupset and Marzocchi fork (was the only fork available and within my budget).
Maybe not easy to see in the picture but the colors are candy red and silver metallic.

Attached my list of used components/weight/supplier.

Anybody in contact with Adam lately? I contacted him after Chinese New year, but no reply so far....

I had requested a quote through Carbonda's site late last month. My contact/seller was not Adam but Maria.
Emailed back and forth for two weeks and always received a prompt reply. Last week completed the order Normal with BSA BB, size M, candy red and gray decals.

Hi,

My name is Steven, living in Belgium.
Since a long time I feel like building a bike with a Chinese frame.
My thoughts are now on the Carbonda FM 936 and presumably I will order the frame this week (Normal version).
Whatever I build, it can't be any less good than what I have now (been riding a 26 inch rockrider for about 11 years  :P )
