Bought this frame in April from Booth (www.carbon29er.com). It's pretty much a copy of a Spez Epic.

 

Loving the bike! It has done Sani2c and most local mtb marathons and no issues. Berg & Bush coming up.

 

P.S. Apprentice bike mechanic not included.

That is a copy of the Scott, not the Epic.

 

The Epic has the pivot on the SEAT tube not the top tube

Have you done any more km's on them? If so how are they going

 

Yes , did a 26km with the lady on sunday and all good . Seems that spokes have settled and now slight wabble , LBS is equalizing spoke tension and that will then be perfect. Seems the spoke tensions are not equal so u need to have that checked as a higher tensioned spoke will snap first so ive just done mine today at LbS as a preventative measure .

Why "brand" it ? Is that not like a "faking it"?

I want to get myself the fm098 but I'm a bit too small for a 490 which seems to be the smallest size. Any suggestions on getting a different frame where there smaller sizes?

How tall are you?

Think is more like buying a porsche look a like then branding it a porsche....

 

Nah, most of these "brandings" I have seen hardly looks like the original product....except maybe for the Dogma frames.
