Not such a good deal at $800.
FS is a more complex bike purchase in general.
With that said, I'm really liking my Ltk023 HT.

Calculating travel?
Can anyone with a good knowledge of shock specs explain the influence of stroke on travel? It's easy to find a shock which is 165mm eye to eye, but stroke (travel?) differs from 37.5- 50mm. Presumably a longer stroke means longer travel, but it must depend on frame geometry. Am I on the right track?

Jenny finally got back to me. This frame almost strikes me as being rushed. They only have 17.5 avalible right now, and none of my questions that were specific to this frame were answered. She then asks me how many I would be interested in.
hmm...still (one of the few) very happy with my hong fu hard tail frame.

Price for a qty. Of 10 is 650 per plus 120 shipping for each. Thought you all should know that there is a bulk discount. Unless... anyone else get a quote yet? I remember the shipping on my hardtail being cheaper. Anyone get a differentko quote for shipping?

"next month" was Jenny's response, and that was one of the few questions she answered

There is no frame available yet, no geometry and no other specs. At present this is purely an exercise in gauging interest to see if it is worthwhile to design and manufacture.

To be fair, I haven't heard of anyone getting injured when their frame cracks, so calling the Superfly a "threat to your life" might be a bit over the top.

I think the point that Menzo is making is that with Trek charging $700 for a chain stay, $800 is cheap for a complete frame and probably so cheap that the quality will be questionable and possibly life threatening should you have a catastrophic failure of the $800 frame.
I'm not aware of any 165mm shock with a stroke different from 37.5.Care to enlighten me?

Looks like the head tube angle is 71 wonder what this frame would be like with a 120mm fork? Anyone able to tell from the diagram above what the stand over is on this? I do find it interesting now that they offer a 2year warranty on the frame.

Well, the frame is "designed" with a 120mm vork in mind. It seems very "inspired" by the Specialized Epic construction.
But do not forget:
But do not forget:
- You need a Shock with the correct Compression- and Reboundtune.
- The pivotbearings are quite unknown.
- There is no through-axle in the rear triangle, which will probably lead to a flexy rear-end.
