FM1266 - 170mm VPP frame

[Bajker]

Found this frame on Flybike Asia's site. 170mm with VPP suspension, seems to be very up to date geometry.

I have a feeling Carbonda will have this frame as well in the future, but don't quote me on that.

That frame is awesome. Geometry looks great. Nice steep seat tube angle. . Love that they got rid of the kink in the top tube that the other frame has. It's perfect, but I don't need that much travel.

This looks very nice, considering ordering one. Although still need to justify having two mountain bikes first lol. My LCFS911 turned out great, just not quite enough suspension for lift access stuff.

Dude you justified it there what's the problem?

Just looking at the numbers it really looks like this is a true brawler of a bike. I've sent an email inquiring on price and delivery. I really hope they reply.

I think this is definitely the frame for me.

I don't think flybike Asia does one offs for people. Unless you know another vendor who picked it up?

That's a shame.  Maybe a group buy is in order? 

So far, geo-wise, I think this frame is right up there with the most recent releases from the more marquee brands.  If this has a good price, this could well be the best buy out there for an enduro bike.

Yes, between this brand new batch of Flybike's Transition-ish and Cruz-esque bikes the geometry is pretty fantastic. Reaches are a hair short in the XL but at least I'm not looking for myself right now.

I was quoted 780$ for this frame, headset/axle 15$ each. Size XL was estimated to be available May-June.

where did you write?

[Bajker]

Did some suspension analyzing, take the data with a grain of salt since they are based of a pixelated picture (that may not even be accurate).

Chainring: 32t
Cassette: 50t

If you want different combo just ask.

Edit, these graphs are outdated and not based on the new design.

Got these today.
Per Carbonda
"FM1266 is a trunion shock" (205x65)
" This product will be presold in the next year. "

Would be a great candidate to use up the tear off shock, fork, wheelset etc from my incoming Ransom

Boosting this up to see if anyone has seen updates.

[jonnybearback]

based on the Carbonda/Flybike crossover I assume the 1266 has been revised to the 1003

Is this similar to the AM831?
