Yep, ended up back on my old TBLTc and actually really happy about it.

I believe that's a small. If you look the seat brace is a bit smaller than mine, which was a M.

Weird.... You are definitely right about the seat brace sizing, but I'm pretty sure mine is a Medium too.

Edit: Just measured seat tube and top tube. Mine is most certainly a med.

Huh, I know there were some pretty minor
tweaks for the second wave of bikes that came out earlier this year. Mine was off the first batch which was notoriously bad for QC issues.

Either way the bike looks f*cking ace man, how do you like it?

So far so good. I've put 140 ish miles on it so far. I've been having an issue with one of the lower pivot bolts wanting to loosen, but it makes a pretty loud creak so at least I know when to fix it. I'm surprised how well it handles though. Nearly everything I throw at it has been handled in stride. As far as the fork and rear shock (after all this is the DVO thread) fork works decent but I'm getting a ton of creaking. Already talked to the guys at DVO though and apparently there was a batch of forks that had some contamination where the stanchions go into the crown. Guess I got one. Still figuring out how I want to set up the Shock though. I have maybe 35ish miles on it so far and I just changed it to have one spacer on the positive spring.
