The build is complete and I'll post some pics this afternoon. Going from a hard tail with 80mm fork to a 100mm fork and 100mm rear shock was a huge difference. I haven't gotten on the trails yet but just riding around the yard and street and dropping off of the driveway was amazing...
I can't believe how similar our stories are. I also have an LBS sponsor me and why I went with the team bike. Although, I won't post what I paid as I think it's understood as a "no-no". (Yes, that is the technical definition).
I was going from a C-dale hard tail that only had 60 mm of front travel. So, yeah, it's a little different but I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I haven't been on my hard tail all year. It's getting lonely and will need to get it out to the trail to keep her happy.
