Am I missing something? The bike (FM 1002/ FM 1166) has just over 100% anti Squat at 30mm shock compression. Which is somewhere near a normal riders sag preload. And the leverage ratio IS quite progressive up until the 130mm shock compression range. Then the leverage ratio falls back a little bit to the 150mm mark. But even there the leverage ratio remains acceptable. I may be interested in either of these bikes (FM1002 / FM1166 or LCFS 947). The LCFS 947 seems as if it would be a great choice if it works for me. But as I have mentioned, nobody will tell me the (LCFS 947) distance from the bottom bracket center to the top of a 150mm dropper post set at it's exteneded position and with the post inerted as far as it will comfortably go into the seat tube. If this wont work for me due to basic design flaws, then the FM 1002/ FM 1166 seems like a maybe good option.

Hi !
I just read yur message, and i received today a few hours ago my LCFS947 ! totaly happy with quality and finition. I just have to make a nice paint 

I have the L size, and i have inseam about 81cm. I bought an 150mm dropper Oneup V2. I just see the toal height as yu asked, and it is about 68 cm (for me it is totally ok), it is height from center of BB to base of saddle. I put some photos :



I hope it help yu !

Hi,
So lot of good information here ! i have finaly ordered an L frame and a set of 29 Wheels.
Now i must find all the other pieces.
Question about the fork and geometry : it is written on the data front fork must be 160-170mm. What is it best to buy ?, a 160mm or a 170mm ? it is linked with the choice with rear suspension ?
Thanks
PS : excuse me for poor english !
