Buy it while it's light. The more frames will break, the heavier it will become in the future.

LoL this  is what happened to your and mine fm936, now it's given for 2150 grams in size M. Mine is 2030 grams, but I remember when it was marketed it was 1850 grams. Then some of them had cracks and now it's heavy like a fat duck

haha, yes!))

I got a used fm936 M from the end of 2023 a week ago, weighs about 1950g

Anyone with any real experience with this frame?

I have pulled the trigger on this frame. In Size XL. But it has not been delivered yet. Will do a build thread once the frame arrives

Now its built. Missing some bits but atleast you get a rough idea on what I am planning

Will be changing the fork during winter but i wanted to just get it built up. Hopefully, maiden voyage can come this weekend

Maiden voyage done today on wet slippery autumn trails. First impression is really good. Snappy feel and way faster over rocks and roots than the hardtail.
Suspension tuning needs some work thou. And looking forward to changing fork. Feels a bit weird to ride 120mm rear and 100mm front

My XL frame painted weighed 1950g without Axle but with mounting hardware. Easy buildup. Only crux is getting the Rear brake hose from swingarm to frame. But sorted pretty easily without removing swingarm.
The paintjob is okay at best. I (for some unclear reason) order a matte white which is pretty stupid. But an hour later and some polish compound and a polisher the finish is now gloss white. So cleaning was easy

Almost order that frame and for some reason couldnt find good looking pictures of it, yours is the fist one I like!

Nice bike.
I have some wuestions regarding the geometry. What is your saddle height? And do you also know your reach as we can see it on the pictures?

Thanks

Thanks!

My saddle height is 79cm. And the reach with this (not correct travel of 100mm) fork is around 505mm. With the correct travel fork it is 496mm. Or are you reffering to the saddle-bar measurement?

Yes, i was referring to your specific saddle-bar measurement as we can see it on your nice pictures.

Hey, tell me what headset and handlebars you have on your bike. I bought the frame and should receive it in December, and I'm gathering the remaining parts.

I use a standard 52mm headset with the Syncros onepice bar/stem combo. Works really well for me:) I have about 400km on the bike now and i am very happy so far

Just pulled the trigger on this one in glossy black, size L.
Planning to go rock shox flight attendant!
