Any love for my new Stylus build? It's a bit of a mish-mash in terms of spec but I'm pretty stoked. Spent the money where it mattered and didn't where it doesn't.

Is this a L or M/L?
Large.

Damn, how long is your inseam then?

Yeah I wish the head tube was a bit longer. I'm running the same stack height as on my nomad (and it's not even that high) but had to use a ton of spacers to achieve it, as you can see

Nice bike, wish they had some beautiful color like that for the rootdown.

As for giving yourself a challenge, go out and find a 1991 stumpjumper, freshen it up with cables, brake shoes and tires and see how much "fun" you have on that.

I've been scaring myself with this one last year.
If it ain t moto it s worthles.

Very unstable at higher speeds and so short I hit my shoes on the front wheel in turns. Fairly ungrippy shoes on these pedals did the rest. Brakes were ok in the dry.

By the sounds of things the pros and cons of each wheel size are pretty evenly stacked so I'll have to wait and see how they both feel on the trail. While we're on the subject of component choice would you guys go carbon or ally wheels on a hardtail too? Mainly concerned with ride feel, would carbon hoops be too harsh?

Depends on which carbon & which ally wheels. I’d go ally, but that’s only because it costs less. Those Zipp Moto wheels that came out last year kinda looked interesting.

I'll stay with alloy based on cost, and because BA30/40s are pretty bulletproof.

What the hell is it? Is that a wicked paintjob or a lot of stickers? Looks cool whatever. Also is the front wheel larger or just an illusion of the tan wall tyre?

203/180 with 4 pot TRP Slant T4 brakes for me. I don't see any reason to go smaller on brake rotors more stopping power is always a good thing imo.
