29+ & 27+ / Re: Velobuild 27.5x3.0 build (Trek Stache lookalike)

Yea i had to cut down my slx brake lines. I tried running the derailer cable but didnt care for the routing and seperate housings so i drilled out the aluminum pieces on the frame to run continuous housing from shifter to derailer.
Still dont have a fork, but leaning towards the matiou to keep costs down

Im interested to see your rear tire clearance when you get there. I went with 29", but rub with the 3" chronicle and just order a smaller nimble b tire. Otherwise ill be switching to 27.5 wheels
Also interested in you opinion on that manitou fork best bang for the buck i can find on ebay.

Parts list:
Xt 11-46 casette

Xtr shifter
Gub pf30 ceramic bb...i like it threads togather
Slx brakes with finned pads
Ice tech 160 rear/180 front

Nukeproof grips
Used mulfett 50 wheels
Maxxis chronical 29x3.0 tires

Recycled parts:
Husfelt 50mm stem
Cannondale seat post
99 trek y glide seatpost clamp..ordered the wrong part/this fit
2 ride old wtb seat..thats sat outside for 3yrs on trek y glide ::)

Remaining parts needed:
Just a fork i believe. Keep getting outbid on fox 34 rhythems and a nice 34 unused performance takeoff.
Idk maybe ill wait till black friday for a deal, i kinda blew my budget for this month already ;D

I have everything installed short of tires, fork/headset, cranks[waiting on new chainring ordered 94bcd by accident]
Once i get a fork i can sort out shifter and brake lines.
I think this thing will be kinda heavy when all done...big weight increase withcthw mulfette rear wheel and half the drivetrain. :'( ohwell

I have one of these on order and still planning out the build. I'm planning on 29+ for wheels and bagain shop the rest.
How strong are these frames?
Im 220ish and a moderate rider. I plan on jumping it a little, no  higher than 2' or gaps longer the 2'-3' on my local trails. Honestly, very little jumping..this is going to be a trail runner and climber. my local trail is like a 2 mile climb then down rocky steep dh.
