After a lost package and a bunch of delivery delays I've finally been able to start building ;D While pulling through the rear brake hose and derailleur housing I had a look at the NS bike and noticed that they guide their housing below the rear shock lower bolt like in the red line in the picture. Ive think most of fm936 builds guide the housing above the mounting bolt (like the green line) but would there be any issues doing it like on the NS? it looks like it would be more protected but at the same time more rubbing against the frame.

Nice! Is it candy red?

Kind of, I asked for a deep metallic red finish and Wing showed me a road bike they painted with a color called campari red :)
Do you have any good tips on frame protection btw? I'm leaning towards some sort of transparent film to show off the color but still protect it somewhat.

Niceee!! Looks great, love the candy finish! I've got the SID select with the remote twist grip lock out - its looks great on the bars and not really noticable. I reccomend it if you haven't purchased it yet.
I'm not sure how much my built will weight with XT but I'm hoping the same.  Put some pics up of the wheels! :D

Thanks for the tip! All components are however already purchased and waiting for delivery. Managed to find a MY2020 SID that i got cheap(ish).
I'll def update when the wheels arrive!

I also received my frame this week with a stunning (IMO) paint job. Minor paint scratch at the chain stay unfortunately but I'll live with it.
I will be building it with a RS SID Select RL 120mm fork and RS Deluxe Ultimate RCT 165x40 shock.
Carbon wheels from Speedsafe and mix of XT/SLX components. Should hopefully be able to hit ~11kg if my calculations are correct.
