not a fan of yellow personally.. BUT... if you like yellow, paint it yellow.... you'll have more fun a bike that YOU LIKE!
Sweet looking build too by the way, should be sweet!

I like the yellow ... something different. ... although I'm going through a burnt orange stage in my head at present

hopefully your happy with the Loaded stuff ... I reckon a red AMX Stem would have been nice too :)

If you run tubeless you'll be sitting lighter than 17.5!
Build looks pretty nice, I have had my DHR for a while and got mine currently at 16.9 with 40's and ti rear spring but with heavy flats of my hardtail, so down to 16.7 when they go. Yours has x0 and significantly lighter forks so you should be able to get it in the 16's easily. The best advice I can give you is get your sag setup correct and run the rear rebound fairly slow, the rear end on these bikes are rediculously light and its pretty hard to get the bike weight balanced or centred. This way you will find the rear end is staying planted, dont be fooled by the porridge car park test.

aw that sounds sweet, im excited bout how much it will actually weigh your probaly right but i dont think i will bother going tubeless, its so much hassel and money for me, but i'll just run some light weight presta tubes. i already no how to set it up, got heaps of info on setting up dhr's off NS dynastics when i purchased a shock off them. you should post yours up so i can see it. :)
