[Closed] Building a XC bike, but as my username suggests, I have very limited knowledge!

I want to build a new XC bike, using either an one one whippet carbon frame or possibly a kinesis XC130 frame. I just need advice on the frame and groupset really.

http://on-one.co.uk/i/q/FROOCWHND/on_one_carbon_xc_whippet_un_decaled_frame

The link above is the frame I want to use, but it has a 92mm bottom bracket shell and direct mount front mech. I am looking at either Shimano SLX 2x10 or Sram X5/X7 2x10. Just getting confused on the chainsets, for example would the Shimano SLX M665 Double Chainset work with a bb92? And would it work with Shimano XT M786 Direct Mount 2x10 Front Mech, as it says its designed for 68-73mm bottom bracket shells.

Any advice would be appreciated 🙂 Cheers

Limited knowledge isn't usually the problem, due to the amount of information on the interweb. 😉

Usually the problem is having all the tools.
BB Tool
Headset Press
Torque Wrench
BB Facing Tool (if needed)
and a whole bunch of other stuff.. 😉
