Hi gd3fit,

Katie from Carbonda sent me a few pictures of the Purple/green chameleon, it wasn't a RAL color but it was already a pre-determined color scheme from them. I'm sure you could ask her for your colors and see what she says. They may have something like it already.

Thanks. I’ll do that. Been talking to Adam on Skype. Hopefully they can help.

Just received my Carbonda fm1001 from Katie, looks great. I just took a quick pic right out of the box.

I had it painted by them, the color is purple/green chameleon. Total cost shipped to Colorado was $1154.

Just starting to build it up, but wondering about frame protection.

@Neb, where did you get your chainstay protector and downtube/bottom bracket protection? I'm really liking the way yours looks and fits.

Thanks!

Color looks great! I gotta ask how did you describe your color/paint scheme for them to paint it? I’d be interested in a sort of blue with purple glitter / chameleon look but not sure how that would be done. Did you just ask them for purple green chameleon effect? With RAL colors? What RAL code is your purple? Thanks!

1150 shipped seems like a lot, what was the price breakdown?

Here is a quote I got. Debating on what I want to get.

750USD/pcs
15USD for headset
15USD for rear axle
190USD for shipping cost

Then others mentioned 5USD for rear hanger.

Then that leaves a little over 175 for paint job?

As for sizing. Any thoughts on 5’6” (168cm) tal with 29.5” inseam (75cm)? Geometry reminds me a lot of my Trance X. Same rear shock travel. I ride a medium in that but some days it feels too big for me. Might be the Standover and the seat tube length. I’m leaning toward a small on this frame FM1001.

Colt, I expect it's fine!

Frame shipped today! I wanted the same colour (glitter purple) as Zilcho but covering the whole frame. something was lost in translation so they've painted it half black and half glitter as zilcho!  @Zilcho - I'm really sorry mate!

I don't mind plus they'd already shipped it, so I'll not tell them anything, and not factor it into any feedback I post online. I'll put some skins on top of the black area so it won't look the same and Zilchos!


I started this build thinking I'd put a Rockshox gold 35, Shimano SLX, cheap alu rims but the budget has crept and now I'm going for SID 120mm and XT with BTLOS carbon 29mm internal rims. Thought to myself, if I'm going to race on it, might at wel buy the parts once rather than twice when I realise I need a bit more from the bike.

Hi there. What color code is this? I'm thinking of something like this color, maybe RAL5000 "violet blue" with glitter. I like this look and couldn't find what code this or zilcho's color codes are. May be ordering a FM 909 or 936. Thanks for any help
