I am informed it is now called 919 with UDH and larger headtube 1 1/2in straight headtube.
Pondering whether to get this one or 918.  I do like two bottle cages in the 918, but this one can officially support 130mm/120mm travel which I also prefer
Anyone tried this new 919 model yet?

Does anybody know if i could potentially just exchange the back part (Chainstay..?) on my 917 with the 919 to have a UDH instead? After having a SRAM Transmission on my 947, i would want it as well on my 917, but i can't since it's not UDH...

I just ordered a Frame in M.

Does anybody know whether a Fox Float X will fit (or does it have the same measurements as the Float X2?

Thanks!

I was considering a 918 as well, mainly due to the 2 Bottle cages, however i went for the 917. and i have to say: no regrets here! Quality good, 120mm travel, remote is well solved with a hole in the frame. 11kg w/o pedals is nice too. I combined it with their handlebar AM12 (didnt trust the integrated cc bar as i am a little on the heavier side. Also here, nice product.

Thanks! Color is a fade from black to chameleon green/purple, all satin finish. the chameleon is really nice, painting job without any flaws. The bike itself is, as far as i can judge, very good quality, everything fits perfectly (seatpost clamp / spacers etc match a 100% the frame.

I went with the carbonda handlebar and i would do it again. Reason is: only the carbonda spacers match the frame a 100%. i used the 400x100 version. With this, the bike becomes quite long, if i would order it again, i would go one size down. with the frame comes spare screws, spare hangers and various other small parts. also the internal routing in the handlebar / frame did not hurt too much, i would again order it.

The frame for sure also takes 28 tires, even 32 could be possible, i assume.

Hi everybody,

i am currently building up a CFR515-D. Frame is painted and waiting for delivery, all other parts already in the house.

Since there is less to none content on the internet about this frameset: does anyobody have experience with this frame? any builts around?

Thanks and cheers,
Roli
