ugh. Tempted to get the elite size L and strip the components. Too bad they don't have a size L in frame only...

To add - as of 6am this morning they had L frames in stock. You missed it by mere hours

I wonder how long it will take the XL to sell out. On ridemonkeys they were saying medium is sold out too

The complete was an awesome value. For me - I am sensative to brakes, wheels, and forks. Could get a damper upgrade for the boxxer but I want a Fox 40.

Also the hub is not XD compatible. Im going to buy a 27.5 wheel for the rear and I have a 29er with XD I can test 29 mode.

I have a few things I will not need to buy such as brakes, rotors, cranks and a few other things.

I was super temped to get the complete, I lik the color on the complete a lot more, but I am poor. Spending too much lately. 1300 was a sweet way to get my foot in the door on a nice DH frame.

What size should I get? I am 6' 2". I like the 485 reach on my Spesh Enduro. ! dont like the monster front center and wheel base on the XL. But dont want to feel cramped or over the bars on the L.

Help me

Im torn between L and XL

510 Reach on a DH bike seems crazy. For reference the Demo comes with a 466 reach in its largest size.

My Yeti SB130 is 505. Feels ok. Reach adjust headset compatible on the GT.

I had my buddies V4 Supreme for a couple weeks last summer, claims a 505 reach also. On that bike it did not feel long in reach.

The Demo seems pretty short. For reference the lastest XL v10 is 492 to 508 with the flip chip headset. I bet the next demo will be longer. My 5010 V2 has 470 reach and that is way to short or me now days.

Its is a gamble buying a frame you cant sit on for sure. I forgot to mention that my ape index and torso are long compared to my stubby little legs. So Im hoping it works out.

Nice. I’m a negative ape index so always had to size down. I bet you’ll be fine with those other parameters in mind.

damn, im bummed i missed the frame onlys.. if anyone has buyers remorse on their Large lmk....

Maybe I should have pulled the trigger on the last gen V10 last summer. Jenson had frames for 2500$

I didnt because I wanted mx option and the XL V10 is 29 only. But maybe I should have gone V10.

Im happy though
