I don't have a thread on the build, but I may do one in the Framebuilders section on building the frame, since it was the first aluminum frame I've built.
The rest of the bike was built from some parts that I already had and others that were purchased as inexpensively as possible without sacrificing too much on quality and durability. The Wheelset is one that I built for a 29er MTB and I ended up using 27.5+ wheels on it. The crankset is a SRAM Apex double that I had, because it was cheaper to buy a whole new crankset that to replace the chainrings. I replaced the chainrings with a 40t 1x narrow/wide ring that I bought on Amazon for $30. The carbon flat mount fork came from Kinesis UK for around $200. Flat mount brakes are Tektro MD-C550, which are the OEM version of the TRP Spyre and can be found on Ebay for around $80 for both brakes and rotors.
