Agreed. Very tempting.

Great looking option but be aware that the rear brake mount is the same as the M016 frame so some calipers will not work. For Shimano, SLX and up will be fine but some of the cheaper ones, M6000 in particular, have a bleed port casting that hits the frame.

An M6000 brake on a 800g frame seems like an oxymoron.
I’d look for a set of used Level TLM Ultimates for a budget build.

Can't find any mention of someone online actually reviewing one or even talking about it though.

I purchased one of these frame about 1-1/2 years ago. Finally built it up about 6 months ago. Bike total weight can just under 19 lbs, with a Sid Ultimate SL 100mm travel fork.
(Total Weight depends more on what wheels and tires I am running on it.) To date, I really like how I build up this bike. It climbs well, it is a 'lively' great handling frame. So far, I really like the bike!!!

could you share built specs to have a reference?
