Very nice, but a bit steep price-wise.

What do you think the price on something like that should be?

I've been putting off a P7 build of that year with that XT spec for a while because it would end up being in that price range.

Depends who wants it and how much. I bought a scruffy P7 with F7 fork for £50 6 months ago. I bought a full XT spec Marin for £115 a month ago. If you're handy with aerosol paint and renewing consumables it would be half that and any colour you want.Then you just need to source the stem, bars and post. Plus you have 2 half-bikes left over. But that's me.
Unless the frame and fork is somehow worth at least £350 then it isn't worth the sum of its parts.

Yeah I was figuring along the same lines. Also with prices taking an absolute nose dive... might be something to never build fully, for now at least.
