Nearly all the bits for a new build. I'm new(ish) to mtb so hope it works out well. I'd say it's at the edge of XC, probably down country, 120/120 sus. I was considering paint for the frame but the GF said the black is more bad ass. It's cheaper, lighter, and I don't have to worry about nicking the paint, so I went with it. Obviously will be mostly black but red accents, getting red stickers for the RS parts.

This looked so good, how much did you pay for that bike?

After all taxes and shipping, etc., it was just under $5k CAD.
