Argh! Did you buy it complete? Struggling to find any hubs at all in 141x9mm and 110x9mm. Otherwise I'd go for it as I like the idea of a rigid mtb with massive tyres and Charlie the bikemonger has the framesets on sale...

Yeah I bought it complete. I'd say due to the weird hubs used building it up yourself may not be worth the hassle, there are a few options listed on the page on charlie the bikemonger but idk. The one on sale on there is frame only so you could get a fork with a more normal dropout standard, though from what I can see 110*9 is easier to find than 141*9.
Believe you could get some love mud wheels for it though, as I think their frontier uses the same standard. might be worth pinging alpkit to ask.
EDIT: you're also welcome to have a little ride around on mine if you want to try out the size.

@russmeyer wrote a long answer then saw your post saying you'll give it a miss. Great bike for what I use it for now - commuting and camping duties on sort of bumpy but not jumpy stuff.
Also doesn't have a replaceable mech hanger which imo on a bike in 2018 is an actual sin, especially for one that's supposed to go offroad. Just in case sizing is still of interest I'm 186cm tall with long legs + short torso and have an XL pine mountain.
