I built this up yesterday..... it's already covered in mud. Nice and light, climbs very well, slightly more nervous on descents than my last build, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I got mine a week ago. Still building it up. I can't say enough good about the people at Bikeman. I bugged them with a ton of stooopid questions. Treated me great. I also picked up a Kona Project 2 fork. Oh, and a titec(?) H-bar.
What is your build like. Wheels and tires mostly. I still need a bunch of stuff to finish. It sure is tough to go by it hanging in the garage. I have been grabbing the Gunnar to ride the snowtrails lately.

The rear wheel is a DMR revolver hub on Mavic 317, the front is a Bontrager Race Light. Both tyres are Bonty Jones ACX. Cranks are 180mm XT octalink, brakes are XT, forks are Reba Race at 100mm. The bars are Titec flat trackers with Cane Creek bar ends, and the stem is a flipped On-one Inbred; I've already changed the seat and seatpost to a Post Moderne and a very skinny Selle San Marco seat. They are lovely frames, aren't they? Let us know how your build goes, and post some pics up when its done. :)

for the info. I have just ordered a front wheel, XT hub, Delgado rim. I will probably go for a big meaty tire up front as I'm running the rigid Kona. I have a crossmax tubeless rear wheel and tire.I am most likely going to run gears on this bike for a while. I already have two SS bikes now so another seeeemmmms to make perfect sense but I am going to try to complicate my life for awhile:);)

Oh, one thing I did want to mention about this frame that spooked me...WTF is with the gnarly cable guides on the top tube?! Could they be any sharper? Those are some mean looking nut zippers....
Yours seems to have them on the bottom...maybe the new ones have them on teh bottom? I hope so...nutty nut nut zippers.
