DAMN YOU SIMONJJ

I've managed to go for a full 10 months being completely content with my Liteville - never lustfully looking at another bike....

AND NOW YOU'VE RUINED IT

I'm meant to be buying a house this year (....as i was last year!)

Damn shiney things are so addictive!

Good video on their webpage too 😀

"Cock & Balls" and all...

well played OP, nice to see a real bike in one of these new frame threads rather than the usual rigid 29er single-speed fatbike abominations that are popular here.

Thanks for al the comments, @ matther01: no the other bikes are at the shop just took a pic before the build begins.
Build kit is:
Fox Float 36 160mm forks, Fox CTD 160mm shock.
Renthal bars, stem, grips and chainring.
Shimano Saint crankset, RD and shifter, XT brakes, chain and cassette.
Mavic Crossmax SX wheels.
Reverb Stealth.
SDG Bel Air.
DMR Brendog pedals.
E13 Lg1+ chain guide.

Not too sure on the Renthal bars with the yellow frame.

Very nice, what size frame is that & what height are you if you don't mind me asking?

33lb? Surprised by that. Are the tyres Dual Ply?

I've been drooling over the same frame in the same colour for a while - have the same wheels, white forks, renthal stem, vaults as you, it would look very similar. VERY tempted now.
