After owning a 27.5 Evol for 3 years and passing that to my daughter thought I would build up a new incarnation in 29 guise!
Not ridden it in anger yet so a few more tweeks possible.

V nice, have looked at those a lot, if I ever did get a FS it would be high on the list.
Your shed looks a bit rusty Rich.
dodgy camera or is that a mullet? front wheel looks way bigger diameter than the rear
Looks great. Enjoy it and keep us posted of its performance/reliability.
No mullet just my dodgy photography 🙂
That shed though.
Should be a fun a rapid ride...

Thought the same, but intensive zooming in tells me they're both 29
I built one up a year ago and love it, really nice geometry. Holding up well so far.
Nice build! Welcome to the club, I've had mine for around a year now, absolutely loving it still.
I've had a blue GX model since May. Absolutely love it. 😎
I have an Evol almost ready to build. Can you explqin how you routed the cable for the internal dropper?
It seems to go round the BB and then a further bend to go into the seat tube. The BB shell isnt perforated, so it cant go via there.
It also seems like the gear and rear brake cable will want to habe a nibble of the BB shell
Like that, tidy, looks a bit more finished than the earlier sonder fs bikes
Brenin yep the routing for the dropper is not ideal but it works will get a picture up for you !
Thanks Rich!

Properly sorted bike, looks understated (in a very good way).
Enjoy

I've got a big lump of 3M mastic tape stuck under the BB on mine, you're right, the brake and gear cables do try to eat the frame as the suspension compresses!
My routing and a nice carbon mud guard from Carbon Wasp!

Anyone know what fork offset the frame is designed for please?
Says FO is 42mm.
Can't find my delivery sheet right now, might be listed on there.
Great thanks for that, just got one of the ebay frames Alpkit were selling, bit couldn't find on Sonder website.. I presume although frame is boost, the chainset spacing isn't looking at it?
I havnt built mine yet but im pretty sure its boost. I hqve bought a boost chainset for it. I even have a new one spare in its box if you want one....
Ian
Yes frame is definitely boost
