It will be here on monday!!

Apart from a new maybe a new seatpost and clamp I cant think what i'll need (might even have these in my spares)...
Have some new carbon bars and a new 50mm stem, new grips.. Forks and wheels should be a straight swap.
Build list is..
RS 150mm Revs black box
Stans flow Ex on hope pro2
XT brakes
SLX 1x10 cranks with 32t NW
Saint shifter
Zee Mech
Easton Carbon bars
DMR defy 50mm stem

Will probably put a dropper on it next year.

I might even keep my current frame and set it up SS as it has horizontal dropouts and i have a spare set of wheels and forks
