Well, I would like to separate in this topic informations about technical aspects of building bike using Markhor Rocket frame from other topic, where is described one problem with ONE piece of this frame.
One year ago I've built bike using Markhor Rocket L - size frame. I still have this bike using it frequently. It has about 1kkm milleage.
It is really brilliant frame. One time I had to tighten the rear triangle main bolt, nothing else .
This year I decided to build new bike. Looking for another frame (only alu) I realized that there is no other better option than Rocket. So I have ordered M size frame- (my second order from Fieldebikes and Tars&Chili). This time painting went faster and package is in shipment. I will update this thread when the parts will arrive to me.
My first bike spec (from the beginning it was going to be budget project)
1. Front fork: Rock Shox Zeb 180mm travel
2. Rear damper: Rock Shox Deluxe Select R DebonAir 230x65mm, I'm going to change it for Float x2
3. wheels BlackJack 2x 29" with Continental Ruban 29x2,6
4. Motor: M510
5. Brakes: Magura MT5 with snails 203 brake discs
In the end the cost was much less than a new bike with a lower specification but with recognisable logo on the frame.
With this specification (wheels, suspension) when the bike is standing on plain surface effective seat angle is 78 degrees, seat pipe angle 71 degrees.
I compared this frame to Markhor Kun Lun and the geometry both of this frames are similiar! More details soon.

the site says rear disc post mount size is 160 but I think the guy on youtube doing the review said its 180. And could you measure the chainstay length so I can calculate the length of the chain I will need. Thanks
