What about this?

Like new BXT MTB 056.  Waiting 3 months to get it in but it's a little too big for my 5'3"-5'4" frame with the 29er wheels.  It's size small, supposely, but honestly it feels like my bud's medium bikes.  I'd say it's probably better for 5'5" to 5'8" folks.

I'd like to sell the frame by itself for $400 shipped to lower 48 states.  If you want buy the whole bike, I can sell that too.  Let me know if you're interested.  It's got a very nice light weight Rockshox Revelation which is $500+ when new and it's in very good shape.  The wheels are carbon with NOVATEC hubs.  $440 with several month wait on Aliexpress.  Lots of other good stuff on it like Maxxis tires.  I can do the whole bike for $1,600 shipped to lower 48 states.

here's a short frame 26er https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004116162852.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.75f31802Nm9BFQ

I measure 9" of insertion on my medium frame.

2 solid rides and 17 miles in on it so far and I'm feeling happy with the build.

Thanks my man...yeah I'm not sure if I want to do a carbon post to keep the weight down or do a Fox transfer 125mm dropper 

Flippin BXT at Aliexpress is rediculous! I ordered 1/22 and it's not expected to get to me until the end of March! ugh!

no.

what are you talking about? like what's the max insertion for a seat post.  I'm trying to figure out which seatpost to get so i can get it in as far as i can.

Good luck.  I think many folks are looking for similar.  Let me know if you find anything.

I was looking at a BXT 056 but those guys are slow as hell at shipping on ali.  I placed a order 30 days ago and they still haven't shipped it yet.

I got mine finished last night. Very happy with the outcome!

Rode it around the block a few times and seems light and playful with the 140mm fork.

Hopefully going to get in a ride this weekend.

What is the deepest you go with the seat post?

I prob should have ordered the plain black ones.  I placed a order on 1/20 and they don't expect to have it painted and shipped out until the end of Feb, maybe early March.  Wow...Ok...........aw well, I prob can't ride until late March anyway since I'm in WI

Mine is finally assembled, everything was done very easily, this is the first time that I have really had no problem assembling a bike.  I will take some photos today to present the bike to you, even if it is nothing extraordinary.  I find it beautiful despite everything!

c'mon bruv!! its been a day! lol

Clearly inspired on the scott spark without the rear shock. Not sure about the robustness of that design though....Load handling on those top pivot points.

We're going to find out this year! :O going to be interesting!

As title says, do you guys get any crap from them? J/w

Good to hear, guys.  Thanks for your feedbacks.

I'm getting pretty serious about picking up a HT, mostly for XC use.  The one in particular i'm closing in on is the BXT-MTB-056 because of the slackier HA compared to most.  It's 67 degrees.  Most out there are 68.5 or 69.5.

I'm just asking in general though as I don't care which one you have.  Just want a heat check on how durable these HT's have been.

Again, just want to see which one you have and how many miles have you put on it and/or how much abuse you think you've put on it? What are the highest jumps you've done to yours?

I don't plan to do too crazy of jumps but just want to know how they're holding up. At most, it'll probably be 3-4 feet drops.  Again, that's probably on the high end.  What kinda of feedback can you give me? thanks!

Can't wait to see what you think, Robin.  Very unique look and I'm interested.

Yeah right now the BXT-087 is $630 SHIPPED for the black gloss...definitely tempting.  Not finding much info on it either.  Painted is $680 shipped so it's still a pretty good deal for $50 to have them paint it already.
