Thought I should say something about this frame since I was satisfied with it, including how the build went, its ride characteristics and final weight including mentioning the components. Most of the components mostly came from my previous hardtail which was of modern geometry by a known EU manufacturer. Final weight 10.6kg

SID SL ultimate 110mm with remote
Shimano XT brakes with kcnc 160mm rotors
XX1 cassette, chain and rear derailleur, mechanical
Carbon stem and handlebar from Ali and velobuild
Bikeyoke divine sl dropper
Manitou Mara inline rear shock
XO1 crankset with sigeyi AXO pm and XT pedals
SRAM dub bb
Schwalbe rocket Ron and racing Ralph
DT Swiss 350 hubs and carbon rims from a local builder

The bike feels responsive and adequately stiff both for technical climbs and tracks. Downcountry and overall Xc performance is superb. Manitou Mara shock plays also a role in that. 
Geometry is spot on with medium at 172mm height.
Bike build was smooth with no issues. Note that a standard sram bb spacer might be needed to avoid chain ring rub in the chainstay. In my case 3mm.
In the fotos a random darimo post appears and stylo alloy crankset.
