I'm bit of a lurker so this is my first post but I wanted to show off my IP-036 build

 

I ordered a frame,handlebar,stem,headset,seatpost,bottlecage,rear axle from iplay it took forever to get here due to the strike but at least it arived in one piece.

So far I have installed: 120mm Fox 32 CTD, Crank Bros Iodine 2 rims, xt brakes, race face ride cranks

The rest is still to come as I have blown the budget already but it will be a 1x10 spd setup.

 

Heres how it is now:

EDIT: There is a fair ammount of interest in costs so here is the quote from xmiplay.com for anyone else thats interested:

 

1 X | IP-036 FS frame (19inch, BSA bottom bracket for 142x12) - 630 USD/piece

1 x | 142x12mm through axle - 15 USD/piece

1 x | Tapered headset - 15 USD/ set

1 X | IP-B04 carbon straight handlebar (640mm, Matte) - 35 USD/piece

1 X | Stem IP-ST1 (100mm, Matte) - 35 USD/piece

1 X | Seat post IP-SP6 - 45 USD/piece

2 X | IP-BC2 UD matt Bottle cages - 11 USD/piece x 2 = 22 USD

Shipping by EMS will cost 115 USD.and 4% commission to PayPal will be charged

So it will be (630+15+15+35+35+45+22+115)x1.04 = 948.48 USD

Hey, they recommend a 165x38.

All done will hopefully maiden it on Tuesday

Weight came in at 12.1kg ready to ride (inner tubes, cycle computer, pedals etc as in pic) the xt components and rims are also not the lightest so it should be easy to get a low 11kg bike with this frame. ps dont buy the dt swiss rear shock it does no work with the frames 8mm bolts.

Thanks, I hope so I am going to have to ride this for a long time. Cost was about R40K I did not keep exact figures I also did not buy only when there were bargains which was the original plan so it should have been a bit less but I got way too impatient.
