26er & 27.5 (650b) / Re: John's 26er Build for the Kiddo

This thing is going to be white, and I mean WHITE!!
He gave me two options - White w/ green (which would drive the SID fork), and white w/ red (Reba).
Pulled the trigger today on the frame, a very slightly used Reba for $175, wheelset (WTB Frequency I19 rims, SRAM X9 hubs - claimed 1785g for the pair), and the drivetrain.
For those interested, I was able to find two 26er frames in XS on eBay. The one I purchased is branded a FASTEAM but has no logos. Sold by dashinebike1. There was another that popped up today, FR-902 sold by cfbstore. The geometry looks very similar, but the FR-902 has two things going for it - internal routing and BSA bottom bracket.
I did ask the frame supplier, though, if they included headset & BB - unclear because two different areas of the listing told me two different things. If they don't supply those items, I will cancel and go with the FR902.
