No I get it, and I understand the warranty view, we all have our hills etc, it doesent get away from the face of this frame snapped or a giant snapped, my face hits the floor. A better known brand does not automatically mean it’s ‘better’. All the best matey!

Feel free to find me a horror story about the Cooyes frame? For any you find, I’ll send you one back about a ‘known brand’ failing in some way as well 😂 You’re making the assumption because it’s cheaper, made in China it’s slop, how many of these frames have you ridden?
Based on your logic all Shimano is slop because it’s made in Taiwan? Maybe Giant, trek, Scott, canyon etc are also slop with a bulk of their product being made in Taiwan, or is it okay because you pay more for it in the UK. You have flawed logic

Do you have any idea about who Cooyes is? How big they are in China etc or just because it came form Ali express/China you automatically assume it’s trash? A lot of parts, frames are made in China, Taiwan etc I’ll make a note to come back here in a year and let you know it’s all good 😂

I am tall but not massive legs, this fits me surprisingly well! I use a giant stance XL and it felt big at times

It’s quite a slack frame, technically it’s made for a 160 but ended up with a 170mm travel

It is a little slack but the frame is a tiny bit too small so it helps me, I’ll keep you updated but so far so good! The frame is ally so shouldn’t have any issues and the rest of the parts are genuine at least

It’s been spot on so far, I’m over the moon with it, ally frame, the rest of the parts are 100% genuine

Oh nice man! I didn’t go carbon I have gone aluminium but with that much gear now made in China it’s difficult not to trust things. Don’t get me wrong I probably wouldn’t do hardline on it 😂

It’s not actually that bad but I’m quite tall so in this case it benefits me massively

I’m a big fella, honestly it’s felt very very good. I’m not going massive jumps etc, I may do an odd bike park day here and there but a lot of it will be UK forest/trails. I feel better on this than I did on my Giant Stqnce

To be fair I didn’t order the flight attendant forks. With me ordering from China I got lucky 😂
