    ok guys had it weighed today at the LBS, not the cheap scales i had lol
    and the way it looks just now weighed in at 31.80lbs , thats with tubes
    wire rim tyres so can defo save some weight here............but to be ohnest
    i think its ok for me....but ill see, in the middle of looking at a set of tubeless
    rims wheels etc so i can swap over when needed. :D

    No worries. I love the raw frames, but I think I'd have the candy orange myself, I like that even more.

    Id go 32 or 34t on the front and ditch the granny ring. Unless you are riding on the road or fire roads constantly I doubt you would be spinning out often.
