I think it was extra. Talk to Peter, no problems.

That was what I tried to tell you. The crankset is not boost specific, it's the chainring that makes the chainline 51mm, 54mm or 57mm...

I would gues a wider chainline is needed. If you run round 32t it should be sufficient with a thin spacer om the drive side.

Direct mount cranksets (RF cinch, sram DM...) is not boost specific. You just change chainring with another offset. That way you get correct chainline.
I have RF next with boost specific chainring (AB 28t oval) and the chainline is good.

If you could fit bigger than 32 round or 30t oval, then you must have a terrible chainline. The chainlines are a bit different on cranksets. Shimano have wider chainline than Sram. In my opinion Shimano boost is to wide.
I have 28t oval boost on RF Next and it is a tight fit.

I have Absolute black oval 28t. Round 30t will fit, but nothing bigger.

Mine is size M 17" and I am just 173cm tall, for me that reach is just fit, I need to fit a -17degree 70mm stem with a flat bar for it. I really depends on what kind of riding position you like.
You also need different riding position, for different terrain. For me I don't have same position for my trailbike and Gravelbike... As we have steep and rocky montains around here, i'm happy with the setup.
Difficult to se from lowres photo, but looks like you run dropper post. Any problems to get it far enough down into the seattube? For my wife I had to use the shortest Fox transfer post to get correct saddle height when extended. This is a problem I would gues several bike builders need to keep in mind.

Are you asking about shock hardware or the bolt that goes thru?

Remember that the reach is quite long on this frame. this 19" is longer than my previous XL Scott Genius.
Among all I have talked to there is an consensus that plus tires are bad in the mud. You could not compare 3.0 nobby nick vs 2.25 NN... The weight and grip in other conditions are very different between these two. If you f.eks. compare 3.0 NN vs 2.4 Magic mary, there are way different grip in mud. The 3.0 does not even get close. Luckily I dont have to much mud on the trails around here, most rock, and then the plus tires really shine!

I don't know how it compares to the 6fattie, but it is much more nible than what you should expect from a plus bike.
Regarding bar height I don't know, but it's shure feels normal to me. I guess it will be like this if you are quite tall, and would have been even worse if you have shorter fork.
I was about to take the 21", but I was afraid that the long reach could be to much and make the bike to long. I'm 188cm and have seat at 82cm from BB center. I think the bike deserves a 150mm fork to get out the max potensial if you have a rough riding style. The shorter rear travel makes it good to climb as well. I rarely use lock out, even on gravel roads. Last two weeks I have done 170km with singletrack, with all sorts of terrain - from smooth hardpacked soil to rough rocky sections. I think this is one of the best do-it-all trailbikes I have tried. But one big thing where it's not perfect is mud... Plus tires are really poor in mud!
My wife have same frame but with a little less expensive components. 15,5" and 120mm fox 34, and this is perfect as the front end is not to high. Seat height 68cm/height 167cm. She is relly happy, but she does not have to much to compare to.

Last year I did build a CS-496, with two wheelsets. 29" carbon wheels with thunder burt and 27,5+ with 3.0 NN. This spring I ordered a FS27 frame to use the plus wheelset.
Spec:
Frame: CS-FS27
Shock: Fox factory DPS
Fork: RS Pike
Crankset: RF Next with absolute black 28t oval chainring
Pedals: CB candy 11
Drivetrain: SRAM X01 11-spd
Wheels: 40mm carbon, DT350, sapim D-light
Tires: 2.8 Rocet ron / 3.0 Nobby nick
Brakes: Shimano Saint
Saddle/post: Fabric Scoop shallow / RS Reverb
Cockpit: Thomson x4 / XM carbon speed riser bar
Weight: 12,1-12,2 kg (26,7 lbs) included pedals.
I'm super happy with the bike, its effective when padeling, snappy and can handle rough terrain! There was no problems building up this frame, and could easily recommend both shopping with Peter and the frame itself.
And now I also have a super snappy no-suspension bike with the CS-496!
