I'm going to build said frame up for Jnr (or me...).

Thinking of using 26" flavoured stuff I have in the shed. So 150mm Sektors, MT68 tubeless wheels, 1 x 10 SLX drivetrain, SLX brakes, likely Brand X dropper, etc. This avoids me having to spend £ needlessly on 27.5 forks and wheels.

Just wondered if anyone else on here had one, how it is built up and is it good fun?

Thanks.

I've got the latter hornet (2017) built up with 26" bits. Works lovely - long for its seatpost height as well
