ran out of characters there. id like to build a relatively light steel hardtail, i wouldnt say that im a weight weenie but i just fancy something fast and spritely. really like the look of the soul. I would likely build with a 1 x 10 setup and a 120 fork. as much as i like the soul i find the £500 pricetag a little hard to swallow but would also be happy to pay that if im convinced its the right move. so what advice if any can you offer ?

My 26.5lbs Soul would be a 25.5lbs bike without the pedals. Without a dropper post (-200g), bash (-100g) with skinnier rims (-300g) and smaller tyres (-400g) it would get down to under 24lbs without any serious bling. Wouldn't be as much fun for me though!

Buy a Soul if you want one - they're ace. I'm 95kg in my kit so a pound or two on the bike will make sod all difference.
