The clamp on my FM10 is the same. It is seated all of the way down to the collar but clearly the frame is made to accommodate a two bolt or lever clamp.  The clamp I have came with the frame from the manufacturer.

I will be using that one.

Get a clamp that doesn't have the lip on the top edge or just live with it.
I don't use the type with the lip, they are annoying.

Hey guys,
So anyone who have this frame and posted those bolts with some wear ... Did it get any worse?

What is the price for that ?

The shock itself with the remote added and modified to work with the Rockshox SUD Ultimate fork and Twistloc remote cost $759AUD/€464//US$568. Which after I pay Norwegian VAT works out close enough to buying comparable shock in Europe. It was sent DHL express and I think it'll arrive tomorrow (one week shipping total). Aiden at Cyclinic was super helpful via email.

Now I have a question. A seatpost clamp is not fully fit the frame. Is it ok or I should look for another clamp?

I'm sure it will work just fine, but might not be the best look.

Can you tell me the clamp diameter you're using? I've got a frame coming and need to order a clamp.

Shipping to the US was a lot cheaper 10 months ago, I assume the same for Europe.

I just got that same shipping quote ($230) for a gravel frame to the US.

I think all int'l shipping is a bit screwed up right now because of this stupid covid crap.  Or maybe I'm stupid?  Who knows?

Shipping is upside down right now  :-\
Parcels are being returned to the sellers.
There isn't enough flights anymore.

Moin,
i payed 160 $ for "trax free" shipping to germany, wich means they do something (i don't want to know exactly) so you don't have to pay taxes anymore.

I hope they will get my frame on the way soon. I have a lot of parts piling up here, but last info i got from carbonda (adam) is that they might paint my frame about last week. I know nothing will happen at christmas and new year's eve... its hard to be patient.

Did a first ride today. McLeod shock works perfect on this frame. Overall very happy with performance of the bike and it's geometry. It just a totally different in comparison with my old frame.

It was tax free. Carbonda underestimate the cost of goods.

Nice bike! What a white powder on the ground ? )

Stem seems a little bit long for L size.
