650b – no, but by swapping the drop outs the frame will run 650b
Tapered steerer – check
Wide bars – 780mm so check
Short stem – only 50mm, so XC lengths to many
Dropper post – check
1×10 – check, but I’ve run a single ring for yonks
Narrow wide ring – check
Clutch mech – yup, but it still clatters a bit
12x142mm rear axle – yup, but I’m still running old school 20mm up front
Tubeless – check
Range extender – no
Internal cable routing – no

Oh and it does have a CCDBa but the frame came with it.

It’s black though but does have a few bits of colour to liven it up a tad.

Had to google Expander Sprocket – 40/42t sprocket to give you a wider spread of gears for people who went 1×10 as they couldn’t afford 1×11.

That’ll be me then, getting one fitted in a couple of weeks 🙂

Though my bike fails the 2014 test by being a 29″ aluminium 12×135 2013 has been. It’s so last year it only has a normal CCDBair, I can’t go out in public anymore…

I’m a sheep, I’m a sheep. It’s official. New build ticks all the boxes apart from 650b. I’m sticking with 20mm front axle and Revs rather than Pikes too, oh and it won’t be carbon.

Tubeless only, soon to have a freewheel….

Should have a carbon front end and metal rear, it’s the law.

Tmb467 wins!
