So a few months ago on here I saw some threads about people looking for a chinese carbon 29er. I got interested in them and starting looking and I've finally found one.
I sent them an email asking about larger sizes and got a response pretty quickly from the actual company (They make tons of different things including road frames, wheelsets, water bottle cages, forks, etc.)
I was told that the bike will be made in 16, 17.5, and 20 inches. I was also told the 16 and 20 inch frames wont be available until the end of the year. I was given a price sheet which includes everything they make, a picture showing the geometry for the 17.5 frame, and a picture of the actual frame which are below.
500 bucks per frame plus 100 for shipping.
I think I'm going to go for this when the 20 inch frame comes out.
My GOTO China 29er arrived this week. Looks in perfect order as I too have ridden a 26" carbon from China without issues. I could buy 3 from China for the savings. Dam holiday travel this week will postpone my build. Was $550 to the door delivered.
This is killing me! I'm at work and photobucket is blocked....can someone post the pics directly here? Also, what size frame and how big are you Mellowme?

i am 5'10 175lbs
using 110stem with flat bars 12* sweep
17 1/2 in frame i think i have to check.... i got a email from them saying they are doing 16 in and 20in now...
very stiff, great power transfer.....i am still getting use to it and i have been having some major wheel issues i will have to report back once i get another set of hubs the back is skipping under power!
it does have a steep HT that i am not very fond of.
that sucks i would have gotten the UD... i placed my order months ago i have had the frame and for for about 2 and a half months now...
if you are using there rigid fork. i had to use centerlock front hub because the screws rub the inside of the fork. also max rotor size is 160 for both front and rear. just fyi
full rigid with there rigid fork.
they dont make a adapter to use a straight 1 1/8 steer tube.
hope that works
