Took the bike out for longer ride today, and I'm even more happier with my choice in this frame, absolutley flys down hill, yet is so smooth pedaling uphill, with very little bob.
With it being a glorious sunny day I got a few more pics
So difficult to capture the colour in a picture, but did catch the metalic sparkle showing through the candy on the top tube in this shot
This last pic gives a good shot of all the colour variation in the "red" in the sunlight

First, apollogies for the image size, I've edited my original post, I'm on a 27" screen and didn't realize how badly it would scale on smaller screens.
Thank you, it's a candy red over a metalic black, has a nice flip from a deep burgandy, to a vibrant blood red, depending on the light, I need to get some pics in strong sunlight to show how the colour "pops"
An XL would have been to big for me, and have me to stretched out for my comfort, but yes a L would have been the more appropriate size for me, however the diference between the L and M is 22mm on the reach and 13.5mm on the stack, I'm currently running a 40mm stem so can find an extra 10mm there if needed by switching to a 50mm stem and can switch to a 35mm riser bar if I feel I need the extra height.
But from my initial test ride the bike feels very comfortble and not at all cramped, I'll find out for sure once i take it on a longer ride, but I think at most, I'll just have to switch a spacer to below the stem.
That color is just gorgeous. Nice choice.

You took a Medium with 184cm??? Really... You could take a XL, L would be Down sizing.

I've finally been able to get my bike built up and taken out for its shake down run, my first impressions have me impressed and very happy with choosing this frame.
The bike feels so incredibly stable at speed, but nimble in the corners.
Taking into consideration I've downsized on the frame size, I'm 184cm tall, I think I have got the right balance that I was looking to achieve for my riding style, yet, coming from a dirtjump and freeride mtb background, will give me that manouverbility and clearence for the inevetible moment that I forget I'm not 20 years younger and attempt something stupid
There's a few things that need fine tuning. Getting the suspension set up, the gears need a little tweek to get them crisp, I need to adjust the calipers to remove a slight brake rub, change the saddle, and remove the stickers of the spokes
but overall the bike is pretty close to perfect and Im very happy with how its turned out.
