Re:

Being a rolling upgrade project, what are the plans?

Re:

Lovely.

I had one as my first (fancy) modern mountain bike. Mine was mostly transplanted from a 2014 boardman comp but rapidly upgraded.

That will quite happily take a 130mm 650b fork (I ran Pikes on mine) - so don't feel you have to be limited to 26" forks when you come to upgrade.

Sold it to a chap in Poland and still regret doing so.
