This is a great riding frame. Some even swear it´s the best ever from Fat City while others don´t care for the wicked. It´s a quick handling bike w/ a tall bb and the typical fat city body weight distribution. Best bike i ever had in technical steep singletrack, loads of fun. Not the best at high speed trails if that´s your thing. Once you get into the woods w/ steep tight situations it´s awesome.
It takes a 26.4 seatpost. You can either get a cheap heavier post on ebay or luck out on either a syncros or a suntour xc... Don´t get too precious on the build: these wickeds are about fun on the trails. I hope you had a crankset in mind when you had that bb axle made.. each crank asks for a certain length. Xt m732 to 735 is the right vintage. I have a T bone stem on mine and its´135mm to make length for the short top tube. Some people like riser bars, others make it a singlespeed... it´s all good: this is a workhorse of a bike. It´s a legend.
You can´t fit a wider than 2.2 tire in the back but can go up to 2.3 under the fork.
Good luck.
