Interesting frame. Looks like you swapped over most parts from the Trek Remedy you showed previously. What is your verdict on the Carbonda frame in terms of quality, as far as you can judge? And most importantly, how does it ride in comparison to the Remedy?

Quality wise its great, no issues with the frame all lines up well feels solid. The stock headset and top shock bolt don't seem the best quality but no problems so far and they can easy be changed if needed.

Overall compared to the Remedy I am liking it more, its more stable at speed with slacker head angle, lower bb, longer wheelbase I would expect that. Its not blown me away but does everything well if that makes sense! Saying that it feels like there is almost no pedal bob when climbing so that has impressed me.

Thanks a lot for sharing your ride impressions. I was looking at Carbonda frames for a while but aside from a few build pics couldn't find much on ride impressions (except for their XC and gravel frames). Understanding how it behaves in comparison to a known bike is much more helpful (to me at least) than purely comparing geometry tables.
Thanks also for sharing more photos. Enjoy riding it!
