Actually, if it's not too much extra, color five looks gorgeous (the orange).

I'm located in North Carolina.

Is that orange? It's too hard to tell on these little swatches. That's why I was hoping Eddie could provide some samples.

I think if I go with a paint option I'd probably find my own pantone based on whatever examples I could find on the web. Just seems like you'll be able to get a better idea of the color you're getting like that. Color is tricky through your monitor. Never really know what you're getting until it arrives, imo. Of course, I do think that option is more expensive so if you're not picky and just want some fresh paint, the provided colors are a nice option.

I think you can find other painted frames with their colors on tideace aliexpress, but its just a few of them.

Finally made an account just to post here about this. I'm interested as well. Would like to know time schedule too since we have so many interested people.

I'm in for a S (This is the equivalent of a Santa Cruz Hightower Medium, correct?). Paint - undecided. Location: San Francisco.

Interested in a M (Large I guess based on the pinned message). Do they have Matte Black?

Interested in size 'M' (SC Large). Color code 11.

Ship to WA, USA

Only two questions:

What's the time line?
When do I get to see complete/clear pictures?

thanks

All he said was that it will be soon and he will update the forum.

Given that the last photos appeared to show what was still very much a prototype .....

...... if they're going to do sufficient safety, performance and durability testing of the 'release candidate' product, it should be at least a couple of months hence.

Prices on shipping are all over the place at the moment, and customs are in exactly the kind of mess you'd expect. So waiting a bit longer will probably circumvent headaches and unnecessary costs anyway.

Agree on all accounts. I don't mind waiting a couple more months at all. Especially considering current events. Just trying to keep the group updated.

If the group buy is still on the table and moving forward, I'd be very interested as well.  Located in TN.

Sure is. We're all patiently waiting for final product. It could be another month or two, who knows. Post up your size if you don't mind.

Welcome to the forum, btw!

Eddy,

This url shows a haideli frame:

I really like the sky blue and the orange options for this frame. Are these available for the FS831 AM frame?
