Thanks Fred! I am also super keen (if not a bit impatient lol) to finish the build and see how it turns out. 

I was also wondering how progressive the rear suspension is, as I am a very light guy and my rear shock has a few tokens in it, which I think I might need to remove.

In my experience the suspension is pretty linear. At 75kg ready to ride (give or take) I'm at 165psi and 2.5 tokens with my Hyrax running a Deluxe shock. Happy to share setup advice when the time comes

Sorry for the wait guys, but here she is fully built up:

Also a lot of people think it is easy to build a bike and while it is not hard, you will more likely than not spend countless hours trying to decide on parts and the smallest things end up taking the most time haha

Sweet build man. May I ask why you are not using the internal cable routing on the chain stay for the rear brake?

Haha I knew someone would ask, the formula cura brakes don't have a banjo fitting and when I routed it through the chainstay, the angle the cable had to bend was too sharp, so it was putting a lot of strain on the mounting point at the caliper and the cable was rubbing really badly where it exits the chainstay.

Hope that helps
