I ordered my frame with custom paint. I made final arrangements for color/size, etc.. on July 20, 2021 an the frame arrived on October 10, 2021. I guess that is just shy of 3 months.

Right now I am waiting on my front wheel to be re-laced. I have had a set of Carbonfan assym wheels for about three years. My old bike and fork were QR. Turns out the old front DT Swiss QR hub could not be upgraded to boost, but the rear could. It all started with a 1 1/8" Reba Air fork that I needed(wanted) to upgrade. So I went with a SID SL Select 100mm tapered in boost. This lead to my wheel being re-hubbed and spoked ; DT Swiss 350 Boost and DT Swiss aero spokes to replace the DT Swiss 350 QR and Pillar Aero XTRA spokes. I also swapped out the Monarch rear shock with a SIDLux.

The XT IceTech brakes are coming off the old bike, as are the 11 speed rear shifter, XT bottom bracket and XT crank,  Maxxis Dissector tires, etc.. I haven't decided if I will add a dropper post and remote. I am thinking about the OneUp V2.

Someone asked about fork offset: Mine is a RockShox SID SL Select 29in Boost Fork Diffusion Black, 100mm, 44 Offset. The bike isn't finished, so I can't comment on whether the offset is appropriate or not for my riding.
