Bolts are the adapter for the front derailleur

These are 135qr frames

Yes - it would have shipped with a 90mm travel Lefty

Yes - you can fit a tapered rigid fork by using KP205

They're reasonably tough frames...but they are also weight weenie race rigs. Get some helitape :)

Thanks for the quick answers.

Likely will go with a Fox Step cast or an Enve MTN....depending on if I can justify buying more bike parts and where I see this bike going in the future. TDR potentially!

The whole thing will likely get a frameskin treatment before I start strapping any bags to it.

Edit: is there any alternative to the KP205?

Maybe - ultimately KP205 is just a regular 1.5" bearing and an adapter that steps down from a regular 1.5" to 1 1/8th bearing, and a 1 1/8th bearing.

The headtube takes 1.5" ID - or 1.56" - bearings pressed directly in to both top and bottom.
