Does anyone have one of these frames?

What does it ride like and what build do you have?

Cheers

In a not answering the question at all kind of way, I saw this a while ago and it was a good read if you are interested in one. Good video and plenty of nerdy data and info on sizing:

That is indeed good, but this year they're releasing 27.5 specific models and have updated the 29. I'd be interested to know if you can put a larger tyre (finally) in there!

There is a 27.5+ one this year also that has boost and you could likely run that as a 29er with decent tire.

Would have to show that "Ride Your Way" decal the grinder, all the way back to the metal just to be sure!

My primal frame arrived today.

Just started building it up this evening!

Build quality thus far seems spot on.

The slogan on the top tube is definitely going to be stickered or painted over though! Lol

Oh build? Mostly spare parts bin stuff

150mm 2010 revelations
26" wheels
Initially a 1x 9 sram setup (the bikes a mud plugger build)
Old sram stylo crank set with absolute black oval n/w 32t chainring
Gripshift (sorry!)
Guide R's, centerline rotors
A budget satori dropper post (£65 and reliable as hell even if it doesn't look too nice. Got one on my other bike)
NP election pedals
