Yea told me that's the top end for sizing, recommended switchback over the slackline for the taller rider

Cool
What type riding are you doing on it
I have shortish arms compared to my height and was thinking of having a 70mm stem, but could get away with a shorter one I think then.

Any pics?
What fork have you got fitted - travel?
How well does the slack geometry manage the climbs?

I'm currently purchasing bits each month for my build.
