If anyone hears more about this first batch in December, or has a closer ETA/tracking please share - I can do the same if I see anything via email. I've got a frame-only order. Can't wait to get it.

Have you tried reaching out to them via email about timing? Troydon usually is very good about getting back to you.
 
Yeah just didn’t feel like bugging him. I know it’s slated for December. Sometimes fun to update as things start shipping
 
Same here - frame only option ordered., Will give a shot when an update about shipping is available.
Curious - which cranks/chain ring are you going with?

Also, can you tell if there’s a geo difference between the longer and shorter travel setting?
 
Please post pics of the frame once you get it. I just ordered a frameset myself and keen to see what the gt silver black fade looks like.
Will do!

Random question, have you ordered cranks yet? Trying to find something in 155 length but struggling
 
Ah got it - so just to confirm the X0 T type ebike "ISIS" cranks should fit on the Crestline? That's what I was thinking but when I called a retailer they were confusing me, saying they only worked on Brose not Bosch... I think they were confused.

I linked below the cranks I'm looking at, unfortunately not in 155, as you mentioned I cannot find these anywhere in 155

Yeah they should. I'm pretty new to the emtb world as this will be my first ebike. What chainrings are you going with? I assume we need to buy specific sram bosch chainrings since were going with transmission?

hard not to just go with the sram steel transmission chainring. With the power going through that drivetrain it makes sense to run steel.

im sure others but 5 dev, hope and pinnd all make 155’s. Can also rock an o-chain and their 155s.
 
Jealous of you December folks. I’ll be February so post up pics as the builds come together. I need something to drool over for the next few months. Lucky I still got the old one keep me occupied. If this is your first crestlines yall are in for a treat. They rip.
 
Yeah I’ll probably go for a 36t steel chainring.

Are any of those cranks you mentioned reasonably priced? I’m not paying more than $200 for ebike cranks just on principle. I don’t need jewelry on my bike, even if the frame did cost a kidney 😂

Pinnd are pretty reasonably priced. $167 us and the look sweet.
 
I also don‘t get a reply on my mails…hope he‘s not having pinacolada on our costs but don‘t think so. 😵‍💫 Guess he‘s just busy to sort it out.
 
I mean it’s Christmas, small batch orders. All in good time.
Even (or even more) from a small business I expect informations. My customers also don‘t care if it’s Christmas and they buy articles worth a dime (but many of them). 😛

Back to topic;

Custome tuned shock - Vivid Air
ZEB 3.1 RED
TS Maxima custom
RSV 30HD
X0 T-Type XS
OneUp-Cockpit-Kit

Waiting for new frame…

I imagine an update will be sent out soon. I’m going fox 38 up front with a RS SDU rear. Sram T type as well, using the wheels from my enduro bike (WAO Convergence enduro).
 
Update: battery is already on its way! Sorry Troyden for having bad thoughts, just being impatient. 😛
