Yes they go fast. It depends on color too. I ordered a Sunflower frame and it's supposed to arrive tomorrow making it a 5 day turn around. Pretty sweet

Once I swap my parts over, I'll have my black '19 Rootdown frame posted for sale. As well as the Rockshox Lyrik and Chromag Phase 30 wheels it originally came with.

Yeah, I was looking today for a Sunflower frame for my gf and they're already sold out in that size.

Started stock GX build and made these changes.

We Are One Composites Union 29 rims,CK hubs, Schwalbe Magic Mary rubber, Cush Core in the rear
Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate 160mm in red, and
Hope Tech V4 brakes.

I think the Sunflower frame with the red fork is going to look rad

That sounds pretty sick. Any color on the hubs or the Hopes?

Went Matte Jet on the hubs. The brakes are orange with black rotors. No color on the wheels in case I want to mount them on my other bike which is black and dark brown. Got orange brakes because my '19 Rootdown was all black but I wanted a bit of color. I've never been a big color person so the Sunflower frame was a big step for me haha.

Looks great! I say that every time! That blue seems to be the most popular color this year by far (guilty), but I think all three offerings as a group are the best colors they've had in one model year.

Everyone posting their builds up this week makes me want Chrodown to happen even more. I don't even care where, I really just want to make that banner and hang it between a couple trees...

Congratulations, that looks great. It makes me realize how much I need to wash mine. I have already logged almost 150 miles on mine since mid February.

how do you find the 150 fork as opposed to running the recommended 160? bb still plenty high? bike looks excellent man. i would imagine the half degree steeper in the st and ha would be much appreciated on mellower terrain.
