 Hi mate. I've just started building my meta Am up with exactly the same bits. I've got the large frame and I'm just over 6 foot tall. How tall are you and how dose it ride?

 I'm about 6'2", which is the upper end of the height guide for a large.

Rides really well, I don't want to sell it to be honest. The only negatives I have is the internal cable routing for the rear mech in the chainstay is a pain in the arse & it causes the cable to foul against the outer & the mech won't shift. It's because it has to go through a tight angle, which doesn't really work.

I run mine on top of the chainstay now - under the tape I put it. Shifts much better.

The frame itself is fairly heavy, this build comes in at 'just' under 29lbs with 2.3 Hans Dampfs & a little sealant, or around 29.6lbs with these Minion 2.5 EXO's running them tubeless also. The weight however makes it very solid, the back end is really stiff, and the bike tracks really well. It's very quiet too.

 What's the reverb length while I'm thinking about it? My Easton haven wheels are on tubeless Hutchinson cougar's, I've got an aluminium rear axle which is lighter than the maxle so that's saving a bit of weight. It's gonna look smart when its all built up and ready to go.

 Hi, 31.6mm, although I use a shim as my Reverb is a 30.9mm one. Thanks
