I’m building up a new bike. I have the frame a 80mm travel 29er. Now who wants to help me spend 2.5k max specing it? I want to build is a light as possible but keeping some durability.

First off I’m having a full XTR group but not wheels. Taking the plunge in to 2×10 what front ring sizes should I go for? I was thinking about 3×10 but maybe I can do without a few ratio’s

Wheels I was thinking American Classic race wheels. Has anyone got some? what is the longevity like? or would I be better with Hope Pro 2’s on crest’s for ease of maintenance but a bit heavier?

Finishing kit I was looking KCNC stuff, flat bars or riser for a 29er?

over to you….
