Built my dream mullet hardtail, but time to part with it as time and life plans have changed.
The build:
Commencal Meta HT large frame (I’m 6’2” fits well)
Marzocchi bomber z1 front fork
Shimano saint front and rear hydraulic brakes (m820-b) with 180 mm rotors
Race face bb, 170mm Aeffect crank arms
Race face cinch 32 tooth front sprocket
SRAM NX eagle derailleur, chain, PG2130 cassette
DT Swiss fr560 27.5 rear wheel with upgraded hubs (includes front DT Swiss wheel sans tire if you want to give the mullet a haircut)
Front wheel 29” roval
PNW range 3 handlebar, loam dropper lever
PNW components dropper seat (rainier gen 3)
Chromag seat
I think I rode this bike after it was built a total of 5 times, It’s in terrific shape and ready for a new owner that will use it more than I will.
Over 3500$ in parts alone, first person with 1800$ takes it home.
Frame is sized for 29” tires, you could sell the wheelset and upgrade to 29” easily, or find a 27.5 tire and downsize the front.
