I ordered from chain reaction on Monday, arrived Wednesday. All I need to finish the build is a stem, saddle and 11 speed xt gears - hopefully these arnt on every xmas list.

I'm going XT 12, only found 1 place that does Hope Pro 4s with micro spline as an option.
160mm Lyrik Ultimate black.
Haven't even thought about other bits yet, too much Xmas stuff going on with the kids pressies.

I actually don't mind the idea of XD, I like the fact that it doesn't eat into your freehub. Can only think that micro spline is exactly the same.
Reckon I might just go there first up and that will keep me using the Shimano interface.
My XT brakes appeared around 5pm today from CRC, ordered Saturday and paid for express, the Shimano shipped locally... I paid express for #1 sons replacement cassette but its coming from the UK.
EDIT: I actually have a Pro 4 normal HG spline and XD driver here as spares, just got moved sideways lately from Hope Hubs by buying bikes and wheelsets without them. They are my fav hub by a long shot... super reliable.

If you go shimano 12 speed I’d recommend a micro spline hub.
I’m running a garbaruk 12 speed cassette and it is good and does everything it should but not as smooth as a full shimano set up. The full shimano drive train set up correctly is pretty impressive and silky smooth.
Yeah I've got them. They were still in a plastic bag when I photographed the frame.

interesting. I never got these. Can you take a close up photo of these?
Will do
Hey @atty, sorry this completely slipped my mind. Here's what they look like:
I have a feeling that their shipping quality control is a little wanting as they forgot my seat clamp.
Constipated? You can get stuff for that.Its been a wait but hopefully nearly over. The frame shipment apparently arrives at Deviate on the 17th and frames start shipping Monday 22nd.
I hate waiting on shit

Had a colonoscopy a few months back, reckon I was on the pot before I'd drank the first potion. I know what the good stuff is !

The frame and extra stuff has been paid for and is currently on the way to the Aussie Distributor
Was originally meant to be shipped direct from the UK but it doesn't really matter how it gets to me.
Apparently the Oz agent has all the extra bits in stock, invisiframe, idlers, hangers, suspension links ect.. which is good to know, even know I ordered spares.
Also, when I asked about the spare idler and the resistance reported with it...
New PYR thread next week maybe.

Maybe there will be no experimenting required with alternative bearings, cheap anyway at 25quid ($45au).

Forbidden is really the only mainstream current competition. Craftworks are a local option, but I think they sold all their frames some time ago and it's quiet over there these days.
There are super-boutique options like Actofive if your wallet really deserves some punishment. And it does.

Forbidden have the extra novelty of actually having stock that a customer could buy in this country too.
I've seen some increasingly beefy Druid builds recently for something that's meant to have "only" 130mm. Fark knows how large the Dreadnaught can go then.
