All day long.

Just like everything else TV's phones etc it starts out with companies sending their work to China and eventually they learn to make it themselves.

9/10 great colour coordination. It's good to something different what's the quality like on the Chinese carbon as some have layering issues.

I like it, 7/10 for me, maybe if the forks were black it will look better.

I give it 7/10. Bottle cages don't match. Seat angle is whacked. Also, the HTA looks steep for my liking. On th + side, I like the old school style with straight steel tubes. Also like the colour.

Process 134

My new Process 134 made up with all my left over parts.

6/10, could easily be a 8/10 but those fenders kill it

could also probably bump up to 9/10 if the tires matched, and having the same brand of suspension fork/ rear shock

also I don't know why but the seat angle always seems so slack in pictures

The carbon layup is always pretty solid. I've built 4 different Chinese carbon bikes and only one had issues. But that one was also the one i sanded down and repainted which i think weakened it.
My last bike before this was an Intense Recluse which i sold the minute i saw this frame. I had a 100mm flexstay bike like the scott spark and loved it. I always wanted a flexstay trail bike like 130mm rear travel and the geo is perfect so i jumped on it.

Im about to throw on a Trust fork on here in a few so ill repost updated pics.

the whyte is a 6.5/10 . its a solid bike but the white forks and saddle kill it for me , also my ocd isnt good with tyres from differant manufacturers front and rear. i bet it rides great though and thats what matters.

my new Mondraker foxy xr carbon 27.5 i just bought to replace my Bird cycleworks aeris Cool

Nice looking bike, glad they warrantied it. My friend had to pay crash replacement for a non crash cracked frame. They blamed him and it also happened to 2 other people...

10/10 for the slash. I’m a sucker for skin walls.

My slash so far. I am considering ditching the gold dropper

Edit: My bad. I thought I posted this in a different thread haha.
