@noizz Yeah I saw that they didn't make the front bolt have a thumb screw nut as other name brands do, I guess they expect you to have a saddle with an opening.
But creaking should normally be fixable with some grease, at least with aluminium saddle rails, anyway I've got a backup aluminium seatpost just in case ;D

Hi, I like your clean matte black look and I see that you have the exact seatpost that I just ordered, how is your experience with it?
Since it's the most sold carbon seatpost on Ali I expect exellence ;D

Also I beleive that I've been looking at the same handlebar but with a rise, it is very cheap though, how is the finish on it?
Did you use any grease between the alloy stem and carbon bar? I read that it could couse some problems otherwise.

Just got my frame delivered to The Netherlands via XDB, took around 2 months, tax free though.
My first fully, carbon and no namebrand frame, finish isn't perfect but at least it's all straight and solid.

Keep in mind the only brake rotor size that fits the rear is 160mm.
And a 34T chainring fits easily, probably would fit 36T as well.

@adbosch:

I'm pretty sure that's just the shipping price that got raised.
Since you paid tax and got it so fast, you probably chose the Aliexpress standard shipping, this option is now €200!
That's why I was so confused when I saw how fast you got the frame with how little you paid.

See screenshot for other frames around this price point, prices are including tax-free slow shipping to The Netherlands, but only the Seraph and BXT come close to what you originally paid for your Lexon.

Edit: Oh no wait, your graphite blue frame with DNM and standard shipping is now EUR 919!

@Hayek: I got this information from ICAN support and a picture:
"Trunnion mount: 8*30mm/54*M10 screw or 54*30mm."
As long as you fit a trunnion mount shock you shouldn't need any other hardware.
Too bad those shocks start at like 400 usd.

@Ben78: Can you post a picture of your diy trunnion to standard mount adapter? I believe it needs to be a threaded bushing?
Aren't you afraid it will bend or that the carbon frame around the mounting hole will chip if the adapter flexes?

Also you can also get the S3 in black for 840 USD (shipped tax-free to EU).

@Flummox: Yes i paid taxes (38,77 euro. ) It was shipped to LIege line hall and after that it went to Den Haag Imec . Imec is a department of Postnl, they arrange the custom clearance and charged me the 38,77 Euro. The package staid there for a week.

Hey @adbosch, that frame looks amazing!

I'm also looking to buy from The Netherlands, I guess you used Aliexpress standard shipping since it came so fast and sellers choice shipping should have been tax free?

And for the people looking for cheap shocks for this frame, there's also the SR Suntour Raidon LO, around the same price as the DNM, but 38 mm travel instead of 35 mm, though not adjustable.

Still undecided between this Lexon and the Seraph FM027 which is €140 cheaper...
