Very happy with Peter's 057 with just a few rides under the belt. Thank you all for the archived information here -- went with the older 057 frame to work with something tried and true for my first build.
- Frame: 057 XL
- Wheel/hub: Stans Arch Mk3 (26mm internal); DT Swiss 350
- Tires: Ardent 2.25
- Fork: RS SID XX 100mm
- Shifter/Mech: XT
- Bar: Thomson trail carbon
- Stem: RaceFace 60mm
- Brakes: SLX
- Rotors: XT 180/160
- Cranks: 180mm XT
- Chainring: OneUp Oval 32T
- Cassette: Sunrace 11-46
- Chain: SRAM PC-X1
- Seatpost/saddle: Ritchey carbon and Synchros seat from old bike
For reference this setup came out to 23.5 lbs. After this set of Ardents I will look for something a little lighter. Also, the cassette is an anchor, however I love the range so far and it is a great price. All suggestions welcome! :)

Nice color!

Very nice build. Looks like Yeti turquoise.
And I think the 057 is a very smart choice.. been beating on mine for a few years now.. very proven frame, as you know.

Nice build! As others have said i've been beating mine up for about a year now and no issues. As a matter of fact i had 3 wrecks on it this weekend (WTF!!!) with no marks or cracks ;D
