It's not quite completed yet but I can confidently say two things about it.
Given that I've gone up a size and I'm running the -1.5° headset, its definitely had a bit of the Grim Donut treatment. I'm also running a 40mm stem to compensate for the increased reach compared to my mk13 XL which has a 70mm stem and narrower 760mm bars.
It will be interesting to compare it to the Pole which has slightly less travel but is a heavier, slacker and longer bike.
I'm also looking forward to trying the Cura 4s and comparing to the Frankenbrake 6 pots on the Pole.

It's not quite completed yet but I can confidently say two things about it.
- Its even more over-engineered then the mk13.
- The internal cable routing is neat but a royal pain in the ass. This has added half a day to the build, even with an internal routing tool.
