Normally you have such great taste in bike but i really must object this time.

1. Why choose that frame to run ss? There are plenty of Klein frames with horizontal drops if you want to go ss.
   
2. Who the hell goes fast enough on a ss xc bike to require a 4 or maybe even 6 pot front brake?
   
3. On the subject of brakes, the rear caliper doesn't look like Hope though the lever clamp (just visible on bar) does look like Hope, frankenbrake?
   
4. Period sympathetic seatpost and saddle but nothing else? Cranks, chain tensioner and forks in particular look far too modern for the frame.
