Wow, that front clearance is good! I'll forgo the fancy fork crown for that! 2.1 will be plenty at the rear anyway. 29+ is larger than 29er diameter, so that'd screw the geo up. If you must have plus...

Those vagabond shifters BS-M10s - they're the ones designed to work with a 10 speed MTB mech in index mode aren't they? (Compared with the BS-A10 ones, which are road bar ends and would need a 9s MTB...

Rusty Spanner what do you mean there won't be anymore?? These look like a salsa fargo at £500 less, £350 for the frameset is a bargain! I have an ECR else I would get one already! But I really want a...

Anyone? Getting quite interested in the frameset, potentially built up with Schwalbe Big Ones if they will fit.

Rusty Spanner - I think you're thinking about my brother (Peterpoddy). I texted him a few days ago and he said he hasn't got his frame yet, the date keeps being put back constantly by Genesis.
