So eventually got hold of them, i swear they just don't answer the phone during lunch time, FYI for anyone who is trying. Apparently they gonna try again tomorrow. From now on gonna ask them to post via TNT or something. Makes life alot easier. Thanks for the help everyone

Here you go.

This is my own personal bike. Not the best picture.

Full internal cable routing and also has all the cover plates and cable stops for DI2 or EPS.

 

That looks like a serious weapon. Thanks for all the advice guys. Am weighing up between this and finding who makes the Felt AR5 frame that blue cycles use.

 

Love this thread. Awesome.

busy building my new mountain bike, based on the FR202 Frame, I see my Deore front derailleur sits to high on the frame, the guys that have built a 202 what front derailleur did you use?

Clamp on, most in fact all were 34.9,clamps, top pull. Dont understand what you mean by too high?

 

What frame model? Also take pics?

By too high, do you mean it clashes with the water bottle cage? and you have a conventional FD, something like this? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/shimano-xt-m786-conventional-2x10-front-mech/rp-prod67203

 

If so then you will need a low clamp FD http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/shimano-xt-m785-top-swing-2x10-front-mech/rp-prod69484

Not near the bike for pictures, problem is that the clamp can not clamp low enough on the seat stay so that you have the 2mm gap between derailleur and cog. I have this one. I think i need a derailleur that the clamp is above the mechanism

Get deore high clamp

[usxorf]

The most useful suggestion is going to be run 1x10
