Right just finished building it... No pics yet, it's the middle of the night! Will get some tomorrow... Pretty pleased it's not at all heavy, just over 12.5kg including pedals isn't bad at all considering the build. Speaking of which, here's the highlights...
Medium BFe 26 Frame Orange
Rockshox Pike @ 130mm
Hope Pro2 on Hope Enduro rims
Schwalbe Magic Mary/Rock Razor tubeless combo
Easton Havoc 750 bars
Easton Haven 55mm stem
Rockshox 125mm stealth dropper
Shimano XT M785 180/160 Brakes
SRAM X01 shifter/mech
SRAM XG1180 cassette
SRAM PC1130 chain
Raceface Atlas 170mm crank w/Burgtec 32T ring
Shimano XT M785 or Easton Flatboy pedals
What size are you on a med? And what do mean about old school BB? Do you mean high?
Look forward to the pics / first impressions Mark.
Hope you are well mate.
what do you think is the best Cotic frame to put a full fat front end on? Solaris?

Stuuuuuuuupidly busy day at work means it's getting dark again right now, and I've still not taken a photo of it! Not quite finished the dropper post routing either, but other than that it's ready to ride.
Hope you are well mate.
Not too bad ta, could always be better, but can't complain on the whole. You?

5ft10, and to be fair it looks like it should be a good fit (ETT is longer than quoted for certain), but yeah that BB is HIGH!!! I've seen higher, but I've gotta be honest, I was hoping that when they updated the geometry the BB was going to have got quite a bit lower. Cy said it has, but it doesn't seem like it has to be fair. BB is 330mm static, my 160mm travel FS bike (on the same tyres) has a 340mm BB height static! My 29er HT by contrast (with 2.25 tyres not 2.35's) is 308mm, so for the BFe is about 20mm taller like for like! I run 170mm cranks anyway, could probably run 190's and not suffer from pedal strikes. 😕

Good thanks. I'm still playing with bicycles and cars! (So nothing changes 😉 )
