Interesting. I bought one from eBay in May and while the description has 160mm rotors specified, I can tell you it's definitely set for 180mm rotors. I guess maybe it's the "new" frame. Where I ride it's a lot more climbing than descending and the headtube angle is killing me. Just wants to pull up on me. I'm going to try a Wolf Tooth GeoShift headset and see if taking some of the rake out of it helps with the climbs.

Homebrewing!

Wow that looks great

I thought I saw a thread around here with that model.

Now that looks like an expensive hobby!

I tried one for a little while and didn't notice any benefits.

I use a Neco but with a traditional star bolt in the fork.

You guys are rough. I've been riding the same pair for 10 years!

This really isn't where you want to save money.

Looks good.

So I was in the market for a new frame and decided to take the plunge and a bit of a gamble. I found this on Amazon (not an affiliate link) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CZ85DOI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The frame was delivered in 4 days which is pretty amazing. It didn't come with a headset but an integrated Cane Creek worked fine. I also had to fit in the threaded BB sleeve myself but some assembly is to be expected.

Anyway, Rock Shox SID Team up front, cheapo DNM shock in the rear (for now because it works), Shimano M8000 all around with 1x11, WTB wheels and tires.

Rides great but still getting used to it after riding a 1999 Marin East Peak since... 1999
