Considering your previous build I think you'll make a very cool bike out of this frame as well, you're blessed with a fine taste in bikes
I will take all of this into serious consideration, thanks! I didn't consider the stack height issue, as this is my first delve into both the threadless and mountian biking realm. I think a 1x10 set up would also be really cool- simplifying the drive-train and eliminating things that could be broken. Plus there is wicked clearance in the back.
I've been watching some older Nukeproof components on eBay, they are going for some fair prices, I suppose we will see.
Guess this means I have to start saying things such as:
"Let's go shred some wicked sick gnar, brah"
