I got an answer from them: "You can drill a hole in the rear of the seat tube to add routing for a stealth dropper. The cable will then run through this hole and underneath your seat tube. Place some masking tape on the rear of the seat tube, next to the HD mount. Make a horizontal line with a pencil on the back of the seat tube in line with the bottom of the HD derailleur mount. Make another horizontal line 10-15 mm below that. Make a vertical line crossing through these, ensuring it is centered on the seat tube. Use 3mm bit to make a pilot hole in the centre of the vertical line. Use an 8mm bit to widen the pilot hole and tilt the drill handle towards the floor to bevel the inside top face and outside lower face, which will make it easier to route your cable through. Deburr the edges with a small file, so the hole does not damage your cable."

Please post if you find some info on this. I have the same question as I'd like to route my dropper post cable internally. I'm just petrified of drilling my Pyga.

I'm still quite new to the site. Been riding bikes since I was 2, raced BMX when I was a lightie, and been on mtb for the past 26 years - got my first mtb in '89! First mtb race was on a solid steely with toe clips, at Irene. No front shocks in those days Very cool site and community you've got here.

I cross my cables just below the bottle cage. Works well

Cool, you must ride what fits you best in the end My bike is full XT, Hope hubs, Arch EX wheels, FSA headset, Funn stem, raceface bars, and a thompson elite seatpost (a real pavement special of parts!) I've been riding bikes all my life, and mtb since 1989, but this Pyga really is something else. I just need my fitness to catch up to the bike now...

L may be too small for you. I'm 6'3" and the xl fits me like a glove. Used a 90mm stem and 700mm bars. That acid green one on facebook is mine Weight was just under 12.6kg with pedals. You're gonna have an epic build with that kit. But go for the icetec rotors, they really are brilliant. Mine had a solid workout at Giba and I'm thrilled with them.

I have a Trek 2200SL that would make an ideal starter bike for a competitive rider. It is 60/61cm frame size (so pretty big) and is rideable (just hasn't been used in a long time). It's yours if you can collect. I'm based in the Edenvale area.
