I ordered through an online retailer/shop on 6/6 and was told on Friday my frame was shipping to the shop that day or today at the latest. Haven’t followed up to confirm that it’s on its way.

Yes it does

There’s no foam tubing / cable liner inside the swing arm for cable routing. I unplugged the already installed speed sensor wire from the motor and fished it through Jagwire foam liner as I fished it through the swim arm to minimize rattling. I also did this for the brake line and derailleur power wire.
 
I would’ve had mine already, but I think I’m the only one who does not want the frame right now. I had my shoulder replaced last week Thursday and am in the thick of it right now. I’m not gonna be able to touch a bike until next year.
I talked to Troydon last week and he was kind enough to delay the shipping

Would you be willing to sell your frame and purchase again on the next batch? Very interested if it’s an rh3!

6’7” with 36” inseam. My other Crestline is an RH4 and fits nice with the +5 reach adjustment and a few other tweaks. Still smaller than the XXL Santa Cruz bikes I have.

Well, you're pretty big so I'm not going to argue too much, but I'd think you'd let that one go and then get in on the next batch. But if not, I mean he already has your money so at least have him send you your frame right so you can look at it or something.

He probably just put you at the end of the assembly list I'm guessing since you can't ride. GL with the injury.

Wow, you’re tall!
My last Crestline was an RH-3 and a bit cramped with the saddle slammed back, a short stem(preferred), 50mm riser bars and no reach adjust. So I went with the RH-4 RS181 (505mm reach) @ 6’-2” 34” inseam. Now having the RS181 frame next to my XL (500mm reach) Anakin V2, the Anakin appears to be a longer front triangle. And rough measuring it is. So it’s looking good for me on reach and roomier cockpit but the RS181 seat tube is higher than my Anakin. I’ve got the new AXS 200mm dropper slammed in the RS181, hopefully it’s not to tall for my 34” inseam, time will tell. Running a 210mm dropper in the Anakin (not slammed in the frame) My previous RH-3 had the AXS 175mm dropper but was far from slammed in the seat tube.

I had the feeling the sizes played into when orders were fulfilled. I'm a RH2 with 450mm dropouts ordered on 6/3.

The 225 AXS will also slam fully on the RH4.

To bad they put some crappy suspension on it. I think most people that would want this bike would just want the frameset.

I prefer coils front and rear. That said.. My coil did not arrive from PUSH before I was done building the new DJI Crestie and ready to ride so I rode the stock Vivid Air Ultimate. Best air shock I've ridden.
 
Got a couple rides in so far, today was just over 5000ft of vert ~18mi, all in auto mode, slightly detuned. Finished with 18% left. Feels very much like trail mode, coming off of a 1st gen bullit, I’d get that but in eco. Honestly the bike feels about the same kinematics wise, which I’m very happy with! Loved the bullit, I just wanted more range and adaptive support with the motor. Aesthetically I think the Crestline looks better, slimmer downtube, there’s very little room around the battery. Definitely stoked on the bike! The dji is insane power wise, night and day compared to ep8, absolute powerhouse. I think if you’re running high settings it’ll be a battery hog for sure. Still dialing in the bike but it’s awesome so far

So far in 3 rides I have found that the Auto mode on the Avinox is well suited to any of the terrain I ride here in So Cal. Gobs of power to go anywhere. Turbo and Boost are just flat out Bonkers!!

This is what I received.
Curious, was the spider ring on the motor or in a bag?
The four small screws, two for the mini mud guard and the other two for……..water bottle?

Did it include any headset spacers? How about a fork crown race? Don’t see them in your pic.
