I spoke to Doug at Curtlo (actually e-mail). It sounds like my bike is in the next batch to get built. I cant wait. The weather here is starting to get nicer and since the days are longer and I get off around 3:00 pm I am looking forward to some good summer rides. I also need to drop a few pounds so I am hoping this will help. Here is the first draft of my build. Any component that come in black will be. The color will be baby poop brown.
Fork White Brothers Fluid 135 mm 20 mm axle
XT derailleurs, chain, cassette and shifters
Avid Code 5 disc brakes 185mm rotors
White Industries M16 rear hub 36
White Industries front hub 20 mm thru axle
DT Alpine spokes
Salsa Gordo rims 36
WTB Laser V saddle
WTB Weirwolf 29x2.55 tires
Race Face Deus XC riser bar 31.8
Thomson X4 stem 31.8
Thomson 31.6mm seatpost
HSC long cranks w/Race Face chainrings 215mm
White Industries BB
Chris King headset
Oury grips
A couple changes will be to swap the fork with a White Brothers Magic 110 mm 20 mm axle with a heavy duty crown, also the bottom bracket will probably become a Phil woods. I Want to swap out the brakes if I can figure out something better. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Might I suggest SRAM X9 shifters and dreailleurs. They really are better than Shimano. I swear!
