I believe I found it in the thread dedicated to that frame.

The killer thing for me is the inability to use the shock I want with his frame, 150mm drop Oneup post I could live with (though 180 is much appreciated with my shortish legs). If you're not as picky as I am for suspension choice, this frame is an awesome option, modern geo, good kinematics etc.
@edit Unless there were changes made to the original design? I see this picture with a coil shock, while the site says not compatible (not enough space).
@edit 2 ;P looked through the thread, now that I'm logged in, there are pictures, the clearance issue is different than I imagined, don't think a Mara can be made to fit, another issue is trunnion shock availability, even if it did fit.

Will be interested how it rides with 27.5 wheels, mainly concerned about the low BB height.

Also interested, there are a couple good 29er options, but they all are too low to be effectively used with 27.5 wheels.

Seems like a good option for someone who needs a bike to go down well in natural, chunky terrain with no large drops, for me it's not progressive enough unfortunately, and not enough anti squat- I don't want to use the lockout switch.

I'm not a fan of clones, and more importantly- the BB is too low in those, I need to run the bike with 27.5 wheels.
Thanks for the reply either way.

Is there a frame like this in existence, from a Chinese manufacturer, with a modern geometry and good kinematics, but without the ridiculously small seatpost insertion and limited shock compatibility?
I was so stoked when I learned of it's existence, the short seatpost travel I could live with (150 Oneup could fit for my 80cm inseam) but when I read that the Mara shock with king can doesn't fit, it made the frame useless to my eyes.
I know of the Ican p9, unfortunately the reach is too short for my liking, sizing up isn't an option because of the long seat tube, plus I was unable to find any kinematics.values for it
