That's quick! Even including Scott marketing material  :o

2500gr for the 15" version feels kind of heavy, otherwise a very nice frame!

I have a Trifox SDY20, ticks a lot of your boxes apart of the seapost diameter. Light, stong and supports 100mm travel.

I have the Trifox sdy20, very light hard tail paired with a sid ultimate sl 100mm. My other bike is a lexon 258 with a 120mm sid ultimate. Also a very nice bike, maybe not the most modern geo but looks and rides very well.

another nice feature, usually found on high-end frames, is guided cables in the swingarm.
As usual, I insert a piece of pipe insulator to avoid any noise or cable rattling inside downtube

Nice trick! What kind of insulator cable did you use? In my 258 frame it rattles a bit and am due for some upkeep. When I take it apart, I might add a piece of insulation!

It took about 8 weeks for the frame to arrive per train. The build has been completed and I've already made quite a few enjoyable rides!  :) I hope yours has also arrived Jnewman!

See attached my build.

Maybe a bit unrelated, but does anyone know what happened to http://www.xmxdb.com/en/track.asp?
The website stopped responding about a week ago, I received this url with the order of my frame to track the shipping status. All the way from China to Poland the updates came regularly-ish, but since about a week the website is not loading at all anymore. I cannot find any information about a move, but for a technical issue it's taking way too long.  :o

it's 2100 without shock & hardware, according to Alibaba listing
Ah yeah missed the incl shock, see that now. Cr*p, than I probably wanted this one instead of the 258 thats on its way  ::)

2 bottle holders on 19" is also very nice, but unfortunately I'm not tall enough for 19"+ frames.

Yeah saw it on Aliexpress as well, but isn't 2400gr for 15" a bit heavy? Trunnion is a big plus, but I'd personally still go for the 258.

Gz Marcell96, looks great! My frame is now close to Lodz, train is taking ages to get to The Netherlands.  :o
Can't wait to start my own build, but pics like these keep the spirit up!

Hope it rides as well as it looks! Enjoy!

Out of curiosity, what makes this geo outdated? The standard shock mounting isnt ideal, but otherwise its similar to this one I believe?

There are multiple topics on this one, even one only a few below yours.  :)

Yeah I saw the same with the Trifox sdy20 frame I've ordered 7 week back, its 120 euro's more expensive atm.
I think it's still a very nice frame and ordered it. The shipping costs were my biggest doubt, but I hear everywhere that there is an enormous demand for shipping so I don't think that will be resolved any time soon.

What I also noticed that there was a 38 euro variance between the different payment methods (iDeal, PayPal & Mastercard). In my case Mastercard used the latest exchange rates, which was beneficial as the rates were in favour of the Euro past weekend. Might also be worth validating, 5 minutes well spend in my case.  ;)

I placed my order for the Titan frame with the Rockshox shock yesterday.
Really looking forward to receiving it, but it will probably take another 4 to 5 weeks.  ;)

 Thanks @adbosch! Lexon confirmed that 2.35 is the maximum width supported. Hwpaints did a check on his orange hong fu monster and that makes it double confirmed. Wider than 2.35 wont fit, that leaves too little clearance.

@adbosch: Did you have to pay additional taxes, or is the statement from Lexon correct that there will be no additional charges? (assumption based on your alias, your from The Netherlands as well? :))

Another question: Does the frame fit 2.35 tires as well?

And great to see the builds, looks really nice!
