And the Jones. Went out on it first a shakedown this morning and did 30-odd miles on a round trip to my local riding spot for a few laps of some trails I know really well to get used to it. The Paul stem is on this bike and I think it works really well on this build, so I'll be seeking something different for the Starling (possibly an Intend Grace to match the fork, or maybe an Enve).
Very pleased with it. The big wheels take a bit more getting going than the carbon 27.5 I've been used to for the last few years, but once they're going it holds speed really well. Starting on 32x20 and I think it's probably about right for this build, although might gear down for some of the hiller XC races around here over the next few months.
