This will give you a bit more confidence of the design Rob, there's a couple kicking around of the newer E10's as well over some pretty rough ground.
Looks like most of the overspray did wonders for the carpet !Base coat
I'm glad you mentioned that. It would be a shame if xenophobia surreptitiously crept into this DIY project.
Whether Denfu carbon frames are any good or not (for your intended application) has yet to be proven obviously... hopefully from an engineering standpoint without racial prejudice.
It's hard to spot cracks on black carbon (matt or glossy)... so I think it's a good idea that you're painting yours with a lighter colour.

Luna is not the worst out there and they have been pretty good regarding any support...not great but good. My X1, after sorting a few things has been stellar and the X1 frame is similar to this dengfu Rob is using. Rob's is a next gen I think and probably better but I Have taken mine through some pretty rough trails and jumps and no issues at all. That being said, I wouldn't buy anything they make except for the X1.Luna doesn't know much about anything about bikes afaict if you read any of their product descriptions, especially of the worst of them. Just buying stock Dengfu frames has been a step up over previous products. They tried designing their own and they were horrid. Still sold ofc. This was a flagship product for years, people still want it lol.
Years of applying hair spray have unknowingly turned him into the Spray Can Kid ! - The Canned Master - 7th Dan .Might turn out half decent!
I'm just here for the build man. I read a book about Xenophobia, it was about aliens who looked like bugs. Not sure what it has to do with the build. Lol.I'm glad you mentioned that. It would be a shame if xenophobia surreptitiously crept into this DIY project.

nice and slow, long strokes and plenty of lube
that would look nice with a matt laquer

You'll see me coming if a frame painted like rides past meLooking extremely funky. We’ll definitely see you coming.

looks like it could do with another clear coat it`s a bit "orange peely"Do you usually do a final polish then one more clear coat? Or polish to finish after final coat?
I’ll give it some very fine sanding / polish and hopefully get a nice mirror finishlooks like it could do with another clear coat it`s a bit "orange peely"
Bike-Discount.de - I noticed the price fluctuates a lot. I had time waiting for the frame to get the best prices.

there is one on the first couple of pages budThere is something deeply satisfying in building your own eMTB!
I am watching with keen interest, this will be a great Spring project!
[mention]Rob Rides EMTB [/mention] will you provide us with a BOM (Bill of Materials)?
That actually looks amazing!
really looking forward to this being completed, if its as affordable as it seems then I might be able to get one together for my son and my wife.
Waiting for what the bike will be called, waiting for stickers
