Made an order to replace the DIY frame because:
a) it's in stock in my size
b) geo looks like a good fit, it's not hideously expensive, and the majority of the components from the DIY will swap straight over
c) it's in stock in my size
Frame should arrive over the weekend, might need to wait a few more days for the headset and seatpost shim.
Build will be largely the same as the DIY, with the exception of pinching the X01 11spd from the cycletruck and putting the 9spd Shimano from the DIY on that. Carbon fork, WTB/Novatec wheels with 2.2 Rangers, XT cranks and a smaller 32t ring, shimmed 27.2 post for now, Alpkit loop bars and a few different length stems to try. When I've got a few more pennies I'll get a 210mm OneUp dropper for the Solaris and the 150mm Brand-X can go on this.
