Ye I realised this one wouldn't be a fast and light when I first felt the weight of the thing :D. But I've been loving all these 26" builds they've been giving me all my ideas. I do like the bigger wheel but I think I'm slowly edging towards a 26" or 650.
Not got as far as the crankset yet, but just ordered a Deore XT bb. I'm figuring out my options now for a crankset that'll work. Am I right in thinking any 2 piece crankset will work with this bb or am I having to run specifically an XT crankset?

Easily find 26 inch wheelset with 130 mm hubs. I have a set in the garage I’d sell you if I was in the same country as you.
Trying to put 700c and making this a light fast bike doesn’t make much sense. I’d take inspiration from all the rad 26” bikes that have been appearing if I were you.
Which XT crankset did you buy? The newest version or the older double version? I wouldn’t stress too much about chain line and just stick the chainring on the inner or outer depending on which end of the cassette you will be using the most.
