This may not be true, but I imagine that some of you like to look at and/or ride bikes - so heres mine.
New frame arrived last week from D&D Cycles (highly recommended, nice guys and good communication) and I built it up at the weekend.
Thoughts on it coming from a 26" Soul - the slightly larger wheels definitely feel different, slightly better rolling once you get going, slight loss in maneuverability.
I like the XR3/4 combo, more grip than my old ralph/nic but similar rolling resistance.
The rear is slightly less compliant than the soul, but not uncomfortable, and it feels faster descending.
How much of this is the frame/new tyres and newbikeitis? hard to say.
Kept my 26inch forks, may upgrade in the future, not really any need at the moment.

Looks great that enjoy .
Very nice! Love the colour scheme, especially compared to some other Production Privee efforts.
Your knob is dirty. (Third pic)
That wreath should have gone a long time ago and you're missing a sock (Fourth pic)
Is he keeping the Christmas wreath until next year?
Nice bicycle.
Just built mine up last night, haven't ridden it yet though! What size did you get, what size stem have you got and what travel forks are you using?

Matt - I think so, economising.
PH1 - Medium, 70mm stem, 140mm forks.
Very respectable.
Now aware of Hope Dropper Seat Clamp - thanks.
