Looking to purchase a hardtail for mostly XC and gravel riding. I know I could get a different model but want to make use of my rockshox pike and parts I already have at home.
Is there anyone with good or bad experience of these models?
Alternatively if there's any other frames that will take a 120mm-140mm fork, UDH compatible, ideally cable ports (not headset routed), threaded BB

Im looking for something similar and was looking at the SPcycle M09 but that has headset routing

I just bought the BXT frame/fork. I'd been discussing it in an existing BXT thread.

I wasn't interested in the headset routing either. That's the drawback. The supplied top cap/bearing spacer is kind of worthless. I've purchased a stem with the stem spacer enclosures and having someone print me more spacers and top cap. The thread OP has a nice set up of his.

The geometry and look of the BXT is what was appealing. I'm also transferring parts. Pretty damn light for an XL too.
