hey safreek - just a headsup: these frames are really small according to the guys at cd ....im about 6 foot and and they really didnt want to recommend selling this frame to me...its designed for an asian market according to cd so hence its quite compact and designed for shorter guys

Damn, hope it's not too small. I recon that it's a bit rough they don't mention these kind of things in the ad.
I would of thought a 20 inches would of be sufficient . You now officially have me worried

yeh ...im sorry to be the bringer of bad news. but who knows maybe with a bit of tweaking at the stem/seatpost length & setback it could work?
when i was looking at alternatives to the astrix solo i had to return i inquired about the muovasi...as it would have worked with most of my components and a good cheap alternative frame + carbon... i thought why the fuck not?
but the guys at cyclingdeal know me as a regular & that i wanted a decent fit / suitable frame and steered me right away from it unfortunately...
my advice suss it out when it gets there / checkout the geometry specs & whether theyll work & keep youre packaging intact ...basically keep in mind that you may be asking for a refund if it doesnt work out...did you pay with paypal? (free return post if you did)

No, not on PayPal unfortunately.
If it is too small who knows, I may be able to build it up for 3-400 bucks and sell it for the same.
Then buy a cheap dually frame off them and start again.
I hope it doesn't come to that

All arrived today, fucken quick 3 working days.
The quality looks ace and it seems pretty light.
I must say it looks really good, came with headset, seat clamp and a spare hanger @Flow-Rider , sweet.
Has internal rooting with some cable already in it, hook the cables and hose to it and pull through.

Well, pulled the pin on some new forks, manitou m30. Weight is apparently 1.6kg, pretty light weight as far as forks I normally buy.
This is being built up for a close friend as a Christmas present so getting the main parts new where possible is cool.
These were the options that I had to chose from, I think I picked well

Done deal, and a 10 speed cassette.
This will be a pretty cheap carbon bike in the end. Better than Walmart, I hope

Manitou usually have a sticker on the back of the leg but most starting points for any shock are 20~30% sag on the full travel height.

Both of the orders so far have arrived in 2 business days of posting. Very impressed so far. Let's see if the third package is as quick
