Let me know how those hubs and rims work out. I am considering building similar wheels.

11/11 is like the Chinese black Friday so expect to find the best deals around then. If you are fast you can find some good sitewide aliexpress coupons but coupons from individual sellers never seem to be that amazing.

Finished with my LCFS918. I really like the lines of the frame. The quality of the frame is as always with Light Carbon great. This was really a smooth build without problems. And the bike is light, size L about 12 KG.
Wow this bike looks really nice all built up. Can't wait to hear ride feedback. Also, how usable is that seatpost bottle cage?

An actually decent chiner mtb shifter would be pretty awesome. Hopefully it's not another disappointment.

I recently purchased a Giant control mini mtb pump for my bike but the bracket that it comes with is so short that it cant sit flush on the downtube and my bottle cage cant even fit on top of it. Anyone have a recommendation for a mounting bracket with more clearance?

Still interested?

It will be a week or two until I am sure whether or not I want a road bike.

Would you be willing to sell the whole build or the frameset and wheelset? Im located in charlotte too.

Similar design to the bxt mtb056 but less extreme seatstay position and a lot lighter. Geo seems very similar to the Cannondale scalpel ht which is a nice slackened xc bike. The threaded bb is a nice addition as well.

What is the recommended fork length and offset?

The only thing I know of is the bxt-mtb-056. It has a 67.2 degree hta with 120mm fork and a 76-77 degree seat tube angle.

Not sure when these released but the bigrock cranks are now being sold on aliexpress. 28.99mm DUB spindle at 465g for 170mm without chainring. Quite a bit heavier than the more premium carbon cranks like xx1 eagle and ethirteen cranks.

These look baller af and for a good price. I might get a pair if people have good results with them. Do they use Shimano bleed cups?

At that budget going with used or new takeoff suspension is going to probably be the best option for you. Your fork is probably going to be the most expensive component on your bike and going with used or takeoff  forks and can save you a ton of money. Check pinkbike buy/sell for good deals.
