Check Merlin Cycles. Their prices can't be beat. And free shipping to the US with a purchase over $76.
They list the XTR 11 spd cassette at $192, XT not listed yet.

Thanks Chris. I've got almost everything I need here. Marty's got the 1 tool I need so as long as his ears have stopped ringing from exploding a tire with too much pressure (Stans everywhere; face, clothes, walls etc)  :o I should be good to go.
I'll let you know though. Thanks

Yeah just got on. Ordered a .057 and should have it early June. That's Marty with the Single Speed .057. Funny thing is I mentioned building a Chiner to him first but he pulled the trigger first. (Must be the no kids thing)
This forum was a HUGE help in figuring out what I wanted to order.

I received everything from Merlin. Peter shipped my wheels this past Friday. Still have to wait until June for the frame. Patience...

29er / Craig's .057

I have been researching on this forum for a while and have finally pulled the trigger. I purchased a .057 from Peter and should have it early June.
I ordered all the necessary parts from him and the rest of the build from Merlin. Maybe I could have saved a bit if I shopped around more but Merlin's prices seemed great and I like getting it all from as few vendors as possible.
Unfortunately (from a cost aspect) I have no other parts I can re-use for this build so everything will be brand new. The total build will be under $2500.
All carbon bits will be 3K gloss.
The thing that finally made me place the order... I emailed my accountant and asked him "If I build a bike and put my company logo on it, can I write it off?". His reply "Absolutely." Boom, order placed!
Spread sheet attached.

Vendor Discussion & Reviews / Re: Peter left xmiplay, but still in business
« on: April 06, 2015, 02:23:17 PM »
I was able to just place an order with Peter for an .057 + wheels and everything else I need from him to build a bike. I contacted him directly through his email. I chose to go through him directly due to his reputation on this forum. I did order a 3K gloss frame which has a 2 month lead time so I will let you know how it goes.
