Thanks Icyseanfitz/Beaumont88 really helpful stuff, i guess the MTB-087 is not as popular as the P9, too bad as it looks like a great value when compared.

Thanks Beaumont88 that's was very helpful, my main issue with the p9 is the shipping coast ($315), if i go with the P9 frame i'll probably order it from DIYCarbone bike frame since its the same frame and $395 cheaper.

29er / Choosing a Frame (P9, BXT 087 or winowsports)?
October 25, 2021, 10:22:33 PM
Greetings all,
I'm planning to build my first full suspension mtb and seeking your experiences to help me decide on the frame.
I already have a hard-tail bike and now looking for a full suspension with150 mm of travel, after some research I narrowed my choices to the following:

BXT-MTB-087 29er ($629 with shipping) .

winowsports 29er ($640 with shipping) .

DIYCarbone bike frame F150 / ICAN P9 ($895 with shipping) .

I'm planning to pair the frame with Rockshox pike ultimate, a Fox float X2 rear shock & shimano XT8100 group set.

based on the cost alone I'm leaning toward the BTX frame but I'm not sure if it will fit the X2 shock " exchange several emails with BTX and they just repeat what already written in the add, I don't think they really know what piggyback shock is :( or if the X2 can fit or not!".
I found many builds for the F150/P9 and the frame looks OK but is it worth the additional 255$?.

I couldn't find any additional info/builds for the other 2 frames so I'm not sure they will fit my components or how they compare to the F150/P9 frame.

Any information regarding those frame is greatly appreciated.

thanks
