seems like a rather unnecessarily expensive build. like i'd never use a chainguide anymore on a trail bike with the NW rings, the BOS is an overkill, the rims kinda are weak(we've had to change them out a ton on peoples bikes)...etc. Are you actually going go to spend this much money or is this a dream build

I am actually considering it yeah but I do see your point. However I like doing things properly, plus I can get stuff at trade price... I'd buy the BOS second hand too so that would save a decent chunk of cash. The rims are one thing I'm not to sure on. I already have some Stan's ZTR Flows on Pro 2 evos, some Hope tech x2 brakes and an RS Lyrik so I don't technically have to replace all that.

Looks rad, fancy building one of those frames myself one day. I have the M4 race brakes and they're awesome! Enve bars feel sweet too

Yeah, the Enve bars are really sweet. I just wish they came in a variety of rises.

Yeah would be nice to have the option but the shape is great anyway. Suppose thats what spacers are for though

Unfortunately I like my front end nice and low so a 10mm rise is what I'd be after instead of spacers. I'll probably just get used to having a slightly higher front end as it's a small price to pay for such a perfectly shaped, strong and light bar. If not I'll swap it out for a Renthal Fatbar carbon 10mm rise.
