Hey guys girls, managed to get hold of one of these... Seem to be sold out as soon as any shops get them in stock!!
I removed the SRAM 11speed groupset/wheels and replaced with An XT wheelset and full XT 10 speed groupset! Prefer XT to SRAM and I've never had a problem with hills on 1x10 (could always put on an Expander at some point)
Maxis tires front and back running Tubless!
Giant contact switch 100mm dropper post! Needed a post that has layback!! Running it with a USE shim!
Only just finnished the build, weights in at 28.8lb inc XT trail pedals...
Getting her dirty this weekend!!

Nice bike - they seem really popular, and with the current 20% of and other discounts available they're a bargain.
I have read about issues with the rear mech hanger - might be worth investing in a spare.
These guys have cropped up on a few posts:

Thanks for the link... Will buy one ASAP just incase!! Yeah I took advantage of the 20% off and then I bought it via my works cycle to work scheme.. So approx another 20% off.. It's a lot of bike for under £1000.!0
