Nearly as far TBH.
Tempted to drop Invisiframe another email and have the bike delivered to them if they still need to measure the XL.

Ecky get the Shakwrap precut sheet in gloss. It’s worked well for my top and seat tube, rest of bike is fine as well protected.

Save a fortune, keeps the top glossy bit shining and all done in 20 mins plus loads of spares for cable run areas.
 
So have you just covered the raised two tone part of the top tube?
I’ve some black vinyl wrap kicking around and some helitape. I’ll put mastic tape on the chain stays as I have a habit of rubbing my heels on them.
Have to say though, my Evil has a proper Invisiframe kit fitted from when I bought it and it has held up way better than my own efforts on the Focus.

Yes, the top two-tone part, mine’s black/stealth but the high gloss finish on the only bit that your shorts rub against would soon be matt black without the cover.
I Invisiframed my Capra and it was awesome, but in the absence of a kit now, there’s this kit from Shack and it has so many cut outs you can get plenty of cover on the parts you think you’ll scuff up.

The bike is pretty well taped up from the factory for shoe rub.

Hello Sorin,

I can only give you the information I currently have.
The forks are not the problem, as far as I know.
Fact is, the bike is not yet built.
The information on the website stating the bike is "in stock" is a bug on the website, and we're working on solving this issue.
You have now the option to wait until it is available.
The other option would be to cancel the order.

Thank you for your understanding.''

With lies he treats his clients! How the hell do you say it's a bug with the site, when that information is on the site for 1 month? This is the bad practice of YT, lied to customers about the availability of products!
So my order is already delayed for 42 days and it's been another 21 days.

Which model are you waiting for?
 
First ride with my decoy base yesterday!
So nice bike! :)
But:
Yari fork is hard to bottom out with 30% sag and no compression.
Just removed all 4 tokens and set sag to 25%. Hope for a smoother ride next time! :)

And the fork also lowering itself to 10÷ sag without weight. I have equalize the air chambers without better result.

Try sliding a zip tie down the fork wiper seal there maybe some air trapped in there.

I hear when the air goes between the chambers, can it still be air under the sealing?
Looks fine now, lets see after next ride! :)
 
Hi guys,

When copying / pasting emails please can you edit out the names so we can make sure we are compliant on GDPR etc :-)

Cheers
Rob.

I'm also waiting for a Base (m), though mine wasn't supposed to be available until yesterday.
If there's a huge backlog I might be waiting a lot longer!

I am not surprised you are not bottoming out with 4 tokens in.

I found on my Lyrik ( Jefsy) that 2 tokens gave a smoother ride compared to zero tokens as I could run lower pressure and improve small bump performance.
 
I guess it might be a difficult choice with the mix of gloss & satin paint on the bike. Might wait for you to receive your bike back & hear your thoughts??
