Looking to build my first bike. I used to MTB a lot when I was younger, but switched to road/tri. Looking to get back into the game.

Located in Toronto, Canada.

Hi, Like Taaro above I am also in Estonia. Been riding mtb on and off for years, got the big bad last year, did a few events and lots of riding on a Merida big nine, now looking to build a lightweight carbon XC marathon bike.

Former lurker here.  Currently considering some of the frames shown on this forum for my next AM/Enduro build.

Looking to get a 29" ride with 150mm travel or above, 66 degree head angle or slacker, 440mm chainstays, 420mm reach, and a seat tube angle of about 76 degrees or thereabouts.

Prefer single pivot and horst link designs but am more than willing to try out VPP or DW-type linkages. 

Any referrals would be appreciated, even 79ers (29" front, 27.5" at the back).

Hi,

I've been toying with the idea of a Chiner for a while now but am yet to take the plunge... Currently building up an On One Scandal 29 SS to get back into riding again after a long while away and just need to sort out a couple more bits until its done.

Anyhoo, consider that a hello from me.

Happy trails :)

Hello,

Stumbled in here from mtbr a few days ago. Next thing you know, I'm placing an order with sissypants on a FM08. Looking forward to starting a build thread!

Thanks for the great resource!

Hi Everyone,
I'm in the UK, looking to get a hardtail frame at the end of the year and I am interested in the direct-sales from China. I'm here to have a look around and gain some of your expert knowledge.

I live in St. Louis, MO in the US. I've always followed the Chinese frame threads on mtbr.com and found them very interesting. I currently have a 19 Stumpjumper and 18 Process 153 AL 29. I have always been a budget bike guy and am constantly looking out for good deals. That's one reason this site is so interesting. I'm not really looking for a frame now, but I figure by the time I am maybe the new school geometry will reach the Chinese makers.

The bikes I'd most like to see a similar Chinese frame are

-Orbea Occam with the same geometry and split pivot rear
-Commencal  Meta TR, if Commencal won't do carbon, I'd like to see someone else do it
- a Yeti knock off would be cool
-something simple like the Marin Alpine Trail

Don't really need a direct knockoff, as long as the frame performs well. Basically I would love to see a trend toward more of an Enduro geo. I would like to see more frames that aren't a solid rear triangle. I would like a pivot on the stay, seat tube, or split pivot to help alleviate some stress.

So far the Ican P9 looks the most interesting to me. I hope more frames come out in this direction.

Keep up the cool threads guys. They are fun to check out.

I'm from Minnesota in the USA.  I'm currently riding a 2016 Specialized Stumpjumper that has more travel than I need or want.  Looking to build a xc/light trail bike around a SID ultimate fork.  My head is spinning already on which frame to build around with all the good info here.
