All done! Final weight as pictured is 9970g. Not too bad considering I haven't really specced it with a lightweight mindset.

Seatpost and handlebar from Peter. Stem is Ritchey Comp.
Groupset, brakes and pedals are Shimano XT M8000 except cassette which is SRAM GX 10-42 (XG-1150?). Running 1x11. Using a GoatLink to make the Shimano derailleur cooperate with the 10t sprocket.
Fork is DT Swiss OPM OL 100mm with remote lockout. Using a ReMount to have the lockout lever where the front shifter would be.
Wheelset is from asiancyclexpress.com. Novatec 772 hubs laced to Kinlin lightweight alloy rims. Tubeless ready if need be.
Saddle is Selle Italia Flite.
Bottle cages: None! I use a Camelbak Circuit or Octane.

Looks good. I wouldn't say at 11.3kg a full suspension bike is heavy, how's the build going?

Glad I'm not the only one on this site at work... 

dudleik, Frame looks awesome. I have an 036 waiting for me at home tonight and I'm practically ready to just walk out of work and start building! I'll keep following this thread. I'm excited to see how your build turns out.

Thanks!

My first version (http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,741.msg8216.html) of the frame got a crack in the seat tube, got a new frame under warranty from Peter / XMCarbonSpeed. Received the frame today, nicely padded inside what almost felt like an empty box. Naked weight is 1034g. It's got a few updates compared to the old one.
-The cable stop for the front derailleur has been fixed, will now accomodate ferrule with no problems. Tested with Jagwire metal ferrule.
-It's got a chain suck protector.
-The guide tube for the rear brake is black.
-The screws for the cable stops for internal routing are black.

It still has the cable stop for the rear derailleur on the right side, imo would be much better looking if it was on the left side. Now, on to the building. Not going to be much different from my first as I'll just transplant the parts. Going to try a few parts from Wolf Tooth and one from SRAM though.

Looks to be more than just paint, at least the first few outer layers of carbon appears to have cracked as well.  You might want to start looking into a warranty replacement.

Thanks for your reply. I've contacted Peter, he's waiting for reply from the factory.

Wondering what size is your frame? I noticed that the 041 has seat stay reinforcement for some sizes.

Size is 19". It does indeed have the smallish tube coming from top of the seat tube to the top tube.

How much did that frame set you back? If you don't mind sharing.

Frame was 550 dollars, 90 dollars shipping. Prices change though, best ask Peter for the current price.

Off topic but I see what looks to be the top of a fence in that pic (and I doubt you'd be carrying whatever it that your using for a stand on the trails) is that your backyard? If so, that's frkn sweet!

Also, yeah, this is the frame to get now. Sweet build.

Thanks! Yes it's my backyard. Perks of living in the countryside.

Post ride update. No issues so far, immediately it seems to dampen more small bumps than my previous alu hardtail. This might be thanks to the very flexible seatpost I got alongside the frame though.

I got a question regarding the headset - I mentioned I had some play in my first post. Well, that wasn't supposed to be there, I wrongly installed a 41mm top bearing. The correct bearings for this frame are 41.8mm/45degree top and 52mm/45degree bottom integrated.

It's 142x12 rear only by the way. The non driveside dropout is molded(?), not replaceable. Compatible axles would be E-thru standard.

Hello all. Thought I'd share my experience with the 041 as there seems to be so few posts about it.

Purchase: Excellent communication with Peter, frame received 6 days after I got tracking nr. More than enough protection around the frame in the box.

Build: Decided to go with the new Shimano M8000 XT 1x11 group. No trouble at all building it up. Bottom bracket was nicely finished inside, Shimano BB92 cups pressed snugly into place. Using Cane Creek 40 headset there is a little (1mm) play from the top bearing before it is tightened, this disappeared once it was tightened. If I was to install a front derailleur I'd have to grind/sand one side of the ferrule by a fraction of a millimeter because of the rivets securing the cable stop being too large. Really cool that the frame comes with replaceable covers for the front so there won't be any open holes when running 1x. I might use a little loctite on the screws securing the covers so they won't shake loose. No problems at all routing cables for the rear. The frame comes with optional covers for using full length housing if needed.

See picture for finished result. I'm quite pleased - it looks good! For pictures of the naked frame, I think TedS123 got it covered here http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,602.45.html .

Weight as pictured including M520 pedals (not in picture) : 10.0kg.
