Do you guys think I could make a 17" work? I'm 5'11" tall and about a 33.5" inseam.

I was all set to go.. Had my lists all set to purchase and I found out this bike isnt available right now in a 19".

What now!? Ha. I had my heart set on a + bike.

What race face chainring did you get to work with the XT crank? I can only find Shimano compatible. [/li][/list]

Do you know the brand Garbaruk?

These are great: https://r2-bike.com/GARBARUK-Chainring-Round-1-speed-narrow-wide-BCD-96-Shimano-XT-M8000-Crank-34-teeth-black
If you like oval: https://r2-bike.com/GARBARUK-Chainring-Melon-oval-1-fach-narrow-wide-LK-96-Shimano-XT-M-8000-Kurbel

They sell direct too: http://garbaruk.com/products/chainrings/round/bcd/96-asymm.html but are slightly more expensive

Cool. I'll check Garbaruk out and let you know. If their shipping isnt too much to get to US, I'll probably go that route.

Hey There - Awesome build. I'm new and have a couple questions. I sent a note off to Peter and am hoping to replicate your setup, to a degree, mainly with different suspension (if possible).

Questions:

• What race face chainring did you get to work with the XT crank? I can only find Shimano compatible.
• Do you think the manitou mattoc fork would work with this setup? https://www.manitoumtb.com/products/forks/mattoc/

Would love to see your progress! I've been eyeballing this same frame and would love to hear your thoughts.

Those look awesome.
