Any 182cm/6' folks on large frames, what size dropper have you installed?
184 cm running a 150 that is sitting on the collar.

Re: Welcome to Chinertown - Introduce Yourself! Greetings from Chicago,

Saying hi as I'm looking forward to my first build, AM831 order placed recently. It was time to retire my trusty Trek 930 and I decided to build something bit more contemporary. As my first go around I think I will mostly leverage PinkBike classifieds and AliExpress for parts. This forum has been very helpful with giving me an idea what I'm getting into.
Happy wrenching.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Finally finished my build.  Size M, SL. BTLOS i30, DTswiss350, XT cassette and shifter, SLX brakes and derailleur, e*thriteen crankset, Fox elite shock (Giant Anthem 2017 model from ebay), SID Ultimate 120mm, 150mm OneUpV2 dropper.  Rekon F2.5 R2.4. 25.8lbs w pedals.

Absolutely love this bike.  Was looking for one bike that I could use on trail rides and also race in local XC events.  It ticks all the boxes.  After a few tune up rides I took it out for a hot lap yesterday on my usual 11mi loop.  To compare I'm coming off a 2017 Giant Trance w 160mm Lyric fork, and sometime ride an old but fast Schwinn Homegrown 26er hard tail.  I was within 5% of my best times on the gnarly downhill sections, and PR'd pretty much every flat or climb section.  I even cleared a huge techy hill that I've never done before.  I couldn't believe how much faster I was on this bike. Especially this early in the season.   It is about 10lbs lighter than my trance, so that's got to be part of it, but I never felt under-gunned on the downhills.  The geo and the 120mm SID felt almost as solid as the 160mm Lyric on my Trance.  I definitely bottomed out in placed where I usually don't, but tokens will fix that. 

In all, zero regrets with this bike. Thanks to everyone for sharing your builds and info.  Made the process so much easier for me.

Maybe not easy to see in the picture but the colors are candy red and silver metallic.
Somewhere i know that color ;) Those silver decals fit well with it!
Are saddle position and spacer turret your actual riding position?
