Anybody familiar with this frame?

I noticed a Workswell DW-link style frame that looks interesting WCB-M-124 . http://www.workswellbikes.com/PRODDUCT/MTB/Downhill/20170922/158.html  Anybody familiar with it? Can this be built as a 29er? Looks something like an Ican S8. But a little longer and slacker.

More of a slacker S7. Interested in this find...

I emailed works well for pricing. No answer. Active know where to get them? TBH, I would be reluctant reluctant to buy something from a company that does not even answer sales emails.

That frame has 457mm chain stays....

That frame has 457mm chain stays....

"Max Tire:27.5*2.8", is that what you're getting at?

No, the actual chain stays are 457mm long, too long for my liking.

but long enough to take plus size tyres.

It looks as if the effective chain stay length may shorten a little with initial sag. Hard to tell. It is 29er compatible though.

I ordered one from an AliExpress vendor that is supposed to be 29+ same exact dw-link design.  Since I skipped a build post for my M06 I'll at least post some pics of this frame when I get it.

[cybrsrce]

It is all built now but here are some pics of the frame -




This AWST version is 27.5+/29 which I was told was 29+.  I was able to fit a 29x2.6 on 50mm rims but I get some tire rub.

How do you like the bike?

[cybrsrce]

It is great, rolls over everything and climbs better than my shorter travel Dengfu M06.  It has an annoying flaw where the lower link bolts come loose and they're a pain to tighten because I have a combo bash and chain guide, other than that it has been perfect.  I'll try a different loctite when I do maintenance in the winter.

Can you snap a pic of the cable routing particularly for the rear derailleur where it enters the rear triangle?  It looks like it is just behind the bb, and would be a fairly tight bend where it enters, particularly deep in the suspension. Thanks

Just had it out so it is dirty, don't judge    I tried to get a few angles but there isn't much room.

[emu26]

Thanks very much for that Cybrsrce.  A dirty bike is a ridden bike so I won't give you a hard time on that.

I like the exit point at the derailleur but I would have thought the entry point would have been better if it was on the top surface on a very shallow angle.  Do you have any problem with shifting, either missed shifts or ghost shifting?
