This is what Frey has needed for years. Integrated battery really cleans up the look of the bike. Definitely a huge improvement.

Paypal IS a criminal enterprise. Years ago they unilaterally held $500 without any notice or explanation and locked my account - unilaterally said I had to wait 180 days to get MY money back (there were no T&Cs they could point to justify what they did - just said it was their "policy"). When I...

Frey seems to offer a ton of options if you ask. Just be very specific when asking for prices and carefully double/triple check your order.

:bigthumb: :bigthumb: :bigthumb: Thanks a bunch for taking the time to clearly explain and draw what you meant. This saved me a ton of headache. My Magura MT5e replacement brake blade came (from Germany - nobody in North America had any stock, including Magura) with the red 2 pin connector...

Ha, came here to ask this very same question. Need a replacement brake lever and there are two variations: Higo-Open, or Higo-Closed. Which version do I need for an AM1000? Also, finding a replacement lever in North America is all-but-impossible at the moment. Even Magura USA is out of...

Account has been terminated?

I converted tires to tubeless using gorilla tape/valve/sealant - no issues so far - installed Vitoria Airliner in rear tire. I just got rid of my throttle - almost never used it - it placed the level control annoyingly out of reach of my thumb - was always having to search for it at inopportune...

Anyone else disgusted by the rear thru-axle supplied on the bike? I couldn't get it out - thought I was an idiot and missing something obvious - never seen a quick lock that comes apart when unlocked and offers no ability to remove the axle. Took to the local LBS and asked what I was doing...

Not the same bike. Frey builds higher spec bike with different geometry.

Are the rims tubeless-ready on the AM1000? Mine are generic and I can't find any info. Has a slight bead seat but not sure if that's sufficient. I've been able to get tire to seal and hold air, but haven't been able to get the "pop" to let me know the tire has fully seated. Do I need a new...

Nice and beefy. Like the internal cables. However, the battery integration could use some improvement - really noticeable in any color other than black.

I wasn't impressed and was disappointed and frustrated. My bike was supposed to be polished aluminum. Came flat black. Was supposed to have SRAM EX1 installed. Still haven"t got the groupset, but I see someone just got one delivered with SRAM recently? Ivy said none were available 6 weeks...

Base price is about $3K plus expensive air-freight shipping. About 45 days to build bike and get delivered to your door. Even though air-freight is overnight, takes ~2 weeks to get to freight-forwarder and thru Customs. Make sure you specify color and all options (if any) upfront - Ivy messed...

I communicated/ordered via the Alibaba app. Ivy was quite responsive. Almost always next-day response, even on weekends. If I communicated during China working hours, usually got quick response within hours.

My bike is on its way (air freight) and Ivy confirmed yesterday that the battery is with the bike. I'm in the US
