I'm just a very confused dude... there are far too many variants out there and I don't want to end up buying the wrong part.
Ideally it would be fantastic to share a spreadsheet where we have a bike frame, model and manufacturer and 3 columns with Good, Better, Best with detailed descriptions (and links) to all the components instead of having to spend hours browsing every post.
Well, yeah, that would be pretty convenient. Problem is it depends far too much on personal preference. SRAM or Shimano? 11 speed or 10 speed? Single front chainring or double? Clipless or flat pedals? Etc. Most importantly, what's your budget? I think you'll find that the forum will pretty much take most of the research out of the equation for you but we just need more info.
You're going to have to put some research time in, which for some people like me, that's one of the funnest parts. Picking out each component exactly as you want it. I'd say don't get too wrapped up in only the 036 build lists. Browse through all the builds and pretty much any component is available for every frame.
Without knowing your budget.. My advice is get a full Shimano SLX 2x10 drivetrain and hydro brakes and rotors. Get the frame with standard BSA bottom bracket. Get the rear hub with 12X142 thru-axle and make sure your frame has the same in the rear dropouts. Get a Rockshox Reba, or X Fusion Velvet 100mm travel fork with 15 mm thru-axle (again, make sure your order your front wheel hub with 15mm thru-axle. That should get you started.
And if you actually get MTB2223 to assemble it for free, that would be even better, of course!
