Meredith,
We do have a select few 48cm and 50cm Flaanimal 4.0 in stock in Pine Cone (Brown), Orange (Chocolate Creamsicle), and Bleaux Deaux (Blue). 4.0 are almost exactly identical to 4.1 frames except for having a standard BSA 68mm threaded bottom bracket instead of T47 68mm threaded bottom brackets. The BB spec change won’t affect 95% of riders.
Thanks!
Lowell,
Thanks for the note. Spork 2.0 does work perfectly with the Tubus Duo. We’ve tested it with the offset eyelet kit and it mounts up very nicely. Photos:

Unfortunately we don’t have any plans to offer a 50cm Traildonkey. There hasn’t been enough demand in that size. We would be happy to take a look at your fit to see if a 52cm might fit you. A number of people have assumed the 52 wouldn’t fit when in fact it was easy to get them set up correctly on it.
Blue threadlocker is suitable and I have it on my personal bike. It is not required and we have not noted any incidence of derailleur hanger bolts coming lose. 7nm is adequate torque for the hanger bolt.
Howdy! Here is some general sizing advice. This works for about 95% of our riders with the exceptions being unique proportions or range of motion issues:
52cm
5’4”-5’6”
54cm
5’6”-5’9”
56cm
5’9”-6’0”
58cm
6’0”-6’2”
Dong,
Here is a great place to start for custom paint information:

The paint layout that you mentioned would cost $750.
It used to be that the matte finish was a bit more durable but the gloss was easier to clean. Our painted has switched to a more durable gloss clear though and the two seem very similar in durability.
Stephen,
You do need a clamp for the FD. It is not built into the frame. The clamp should be a 31.8
We don’t build the clamp onto the frame because we want the frame to remain nice and clean for 1x drivetrain users
Thanks!

The routing endcap screws are 4mm diameter, 5mm depth, with a conical head.
The rear dropout hardware screws are 3mm diameter, 13mm depth, conical head.
Definitely always outboard T-47 on all of our frames.
Jeff. Thanks for the question. We’ve run a very wide range of power meters on TD3 and none have shown any issues. Here is a list of what we’ve tried:
We haven’t tried Power2Max but I can’t think of an obvious reason they wouldn’t work. We were pretty careful to make the bike generally as compatible with a wide range of cranksets and chainrings. That doesn’t mean that someone won’t eventually find something that doesn’t work but so far so good.
