Alright I am super new to riding bikes and doing a frame up santa cruz bullit build. This is going to be used more for AM. Can you guys please tell me if this combo will work.
Here is what I'm starting with:
02 Bullit frame
boxxer forks
fox shock
wtb laserdisk dh wheels

Stuff I'm ordering
Race face evolve 3 ring with BB crankset. (175mm, 22-32-44T)
Sram PG-950 cassette (11-34 9speed)
Shimano hone rd-m600 rear derailleur (sgs long cage, virtical drop out)

I need to know what size chain to get also what size front derailleur? The down tube is 35mm....does that mean I need exactly a 35mm? Also I see front derailleur with high and low with different pulls??

sorry if my wording is off and thanks for any help

That bike won't be a great climber, kind of an odd "AM" bike (sounds more like a DH setup) to start off with, but good luck in that respect.

Your seat tube is where the front derailleur attaches, and it's probably a 34.9mm, top pull (and typically a Shimano fd will come in dual pull and in one size with adapters for differing seat tube sizes, 34.9 should be no problem). Use a 9 speed chain, you'll have to adjust the number of links on installation to suit the bike.
