I have built or am building three of the bikes on your list. First i built the LCFS958, then the LCFS947 and now I am busy building the AM831.

When I am finished with the AM831 I will sell one of the three, two bikes is enough. But it will be a hard choice to make.

The LCFS958 is quick, a good climber, comfortable on lock rides, works well on descends and it feels very easy to handle in all cases.

The LCFS947 is a monster on descends, everything fells possible and not dangerous. On slow, technical, rocky climbs it conquers everything. Its a bike I prefer when i know its going to be more technical than fast rides.

The AM831 is 3 centimeters longer than the LCFS947 :-o  What that mean when its time to ride it I don't know yet. Maybe its even more of the LCFS947 characteristics?

if you decide to sell the LCFS947, let me know i maybe interested. do you have any complaints or problems you encountered while building or riding the bikes? also, for how long have you had them? how does the LCFS947 climb? Also, if you had to build only one of the of the Light carbon frames, which one would you do?

thanks!

Personally, I am waiting on this thirsty monster:
https://www.carbonda.com/news/136.html

that does look interesting, any idea what the travel would be? i dont see anything regarding that, but id imagine 150 rear...

So want to build my first chiner, i built up my motobecane aluminum frame and now i want a bit more travel. Currently at 140F/100R.

Trail options - worried that 130 rear would not be enough travel.
ICAN P1 - very interesting but seems a bit outdated GEO
LCFS958 - really like this, but concerned about the rear shock options. seems like a rare/odd size.

Enduro - 150 rear travel
P9 - outdated GEO but fairly priced
LCFS947 - by far my favorite thus far, but i will need to get a bigger fork. currently running a Marzocchi bomber Z2 2020, max travel 150
AM831 - looks interesting but not 100% in love with it.

i ride mainly local trails and will start going to a lift access bike park next season doing mainly blues and greens with an occasional black diamond. just got into this sport and driving my wife insane. so my goal is to find the best middle ground for trail & downhill riding.

thank you all!

Hey guys, no one ever answered the previous guys question, can you run 150 front and rear suspension? i got a marzzochi bomber z2 im trying to save. or am i wasting my time.

thanks!

are there any negatives on running 150 rear and 150 front?

Hello everyone!

New to the forum and mountain biking. I am very intersted in getting a cheap carbon frame in the near future. i mainly ride blue and green downhill trails (bike parks) and regular trail riding. so what is the best time to buy a frame? so far im am very curious about the ICAN P9 & AM831. Im still kicking myself for missing out on the group buy for the AM831, but now it seems the price is the same for either frame. which one would you guys recommend? Added my current ride for fun


thank you!
