823 Tubeless...i can't remember it was somewhere in 36's with aluminum bars/seat post/wheels... changed all of that up and changed to Obtainium spring and dropped to the 34's.

This was mine: Only the parts listed as it came out of the box...

Medium frame
Fox Rc4 with 400lbs steel spring
Headset cups - no bearings
Rear axle & hanger
Seatpost clamp

4.64kg or 10.22lbs

Not the lightest full carbon frame around, but appears to be built solid. Im interested to see what Evil come up with in relation to the newer revised version of the Undead. This frame is not without its flaws, so hopefully they've addressed those issues.

It's been in the works for a bit, supposedly almost a pound lighter, cosmetic paint cracking issues fixed, updated delta link bearings that don't wear out super fast, and probly more...?

Hi guys, May I know how can I tell if the Undead frame is a pre 2012 model or the post 2012 model? Is it from the linkage where the lacquer paint "problem" is? Pre 2012 has only 2 bolts and the post has 3 bolts? I am getting an Undead frame soon too :-) I am not sure how to distinguish whether the dealer here will sell me a 2013 or the 2014 version of the Undead frame. Thanks for any info :-)

No updated rear ends have been shipped out what I understand, so they are all old model
