A while ago i asked for advice on an XL frame but sadly there weren't many options available and ended up going for an XL E10
I've since received the frame (no motor yet) and some of the parts.
It's hard to see on pictures, the paint has some faint glitter in it.
There was one small nick on the paint but i don't think you'll see that again once the brakes are on.
DVO topaz gen 3 shock
The fork
Currently collecting parts based on this list which still changes here and there, The list also doesn't include any extras, tools or consumables that i still lack. I'm also considering getting a different headset but I'm not a 100% sure what fits, will probably also get a different rear thru axle since the stock one can easily be removed.
prices are in euro
Green : i have
Blue : Ordered but not received yet
White : Not final/haven't ordered yet
Had ordered the wheels but returned them (still waiting on refund) and going for something else, the description stated the rims were 30mm but i received 25mm and after looking at DT Swiss their own website it doesn't seem they even come in that version.
I was considering this headset and run the electric wires along the handlebar down into the headset if anyone can confirm these fit.
or
Found a used vinyl cutter (roland GX-24) to try and make stickers for the frame.
I think the whole build will take a while, I'll keep ordering some parts over the months and figure out what else is needed. The battery still has to be made, have to figure out the stickers and I'd also like to add in one of the aliexpress GPS trackers with possible motor cuttoff (thinking about adding something in between the brake sensor cable)
The first things i'd probably do are greasing the link and ordering everything to get the shock and the fork in.
