currently MK10 160 dual position pikes and 26" wheels front and rear stans crest on hope hubs. Hans damphs. reverb, raceface cranks hope pedals, syntace bars etc etc
Seems like a nice bike.
Nope 220si, Was referring to myself. Seems Andybrad is having a similar issue...
So, just built up today by my LBS, a mk3 601.
I scavenged as many parts from my Pivot mach6 as i could and just had to buy new forks, 180mm Lyrics, so it not come in at too high a price.
A little to big on travel for my Lantua rides (and heavy) but should do fine for HK DH Shuttle runs and those Chiang Mei trips.

What is the feed back on the lower chain guide, is it worth keeping it with a 1x11 drive train?
Looks very nice!, head angle looks steep though or is it the photo?
Headset spacers are borderline at best
Front brake hose looks long
Tyre logos not lining up with valves
Looks steep due to the angle and rear wheel brace.
Tyre logos don't line up as the mechanic at my LBS cant read English and the headset spacers will go once I adjust the cockpit (maybe), I have no excuse for the front brake hose.
lol, didnt think about rear wheel brace.
Looks nice Stewart
What size is it?? Looks big and long??
Nice looking build Stew, be interested in how you find the new Lyriks as they are on the list if I go 27.5".
I'm guessing a medium size as its not got the seat tube gusset?
Yep, medium, will pick up today and give it a quick spin before trying out some rigorous AM stuff tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing what the Lyrics are like, and if I can even climb up the usual mountains on this beasty.
What are peoples experience with tyre clearance in the rear?
On my large frame (440mm long chainstays) with a 27.5 x 2.35 Magic Mary at 18psi, there's clearance on the chain and seatstays but under full compression the tyre is into the back of the seat tube.
I know Liteville state in their build manual that....
Note: A brushing of the rear wheel on the seat tube upon full compression when riding will, other than producing a wear mark on the seat tube, not cause any damage.
But under full compression the rear wheel won't turn at all so the tyre is too big, and I need a smaller one that can still handle our seasonal gloopy trails.
Looking at getting a MK12 301 as my next frame. Want a Mk12 so I can run 27.5 both ends.
What's the sizing like on them? I'm a shade under 6ft, will the large be big enough. They look pretty short in the top tube.
I'm on a large @ 5'11" with a 40mm Megaforce stem
6 foot here on a large (MK11). I sometimes think I would have been happier on a XL but i have quite long arms and like a long bike. I have a 150mm Reverb and about 30mm is out of the seat tube so I could easily run the same post in an XL
Also 6ft here on a Mk11 Large, with 40mm Megaforce 2 stem 🙂 waiting for a 150mm Reverb to arrive. I've not felt I would want to be on a larger frame. I have run 27.5 both ends but the Liteville advice is accurate and it won't take more than a 2.25 tyre at the back. However, I actually prefer the 26" rear/27.5 front that Liteville recommend for the Large.
Thought I'd add an update to mine on here.
Gone to 27.5" F/26" R with Yari 180mm (stealth decals) and a nice DT 350SP/EX471/Aerocomp wheel build.
Also added a 150/34.9mm Reverb stealth due to the failure of my Thomson.

Looking to add a minimal top chain guide but a bit confused as to what I can use. PB review stated that they'd used a direct low-mount but there's only one hole on the frame 😕
hi, i have a liteville 601 mk1 2013, and i want to know, if i put on front a crank from xtr at 11 speed, must put the spacer on bottom bracket or not? in this moment, its not possible to use scs2 chain guide.wait for answer.
