Thanks for the indepth reply considering things to look out for. To kind of reply to the torso statement I would like to point out that I have put on decent hours on a XCT2 hardtail and havent seen symptoms of the torso problem you speed of. Judging by this would you say I am in the clear? The XTC2 was a 19" frame my NRS is 18.5".
I am so excited for it to come, I am sure I will be in heaven once it gets here! And I will post some more indepth photos once I receive it.
