Thanks.

Thanks, I think this is the first time anyone has given me a compliment about one of my builds, the frame was a warranty replacement (I had an alloy one before and they upgraded to the carbon version with the replacement) I then set about making a "lightweight" mtb, alot of components went straight across but I added the Carbon Forks (3T) rest of the spec (briefly) is;

Hope XC wheel set (with boost adapters)
XT cranks (non boost)
SRAM GX 1x11 gears (to be removed for SS - I have the gusset Xd drive single speed kit)
Thompson Seat Post / stem
Superstar Components carbon bars
Charge spoon saddle
XT Brakes
Hope Headset

It feels like it weighs less than my road bike (but never weighed either) I was commuting on it over the summer - it wasn't much slower over 12 miles!

Also thanks everyone for the suggestions, I will have a look at the options and get one ordered and report back with updated pictures.
