I recently picked up a Banshee Paradox V3 XL (hardtail) frame to build up. Obviously, way different bikes, but some of the geo numbers are close with the biggest difference (besides it being a hardtail) being chainstay length and WB. I just wanted to comment on fit as it may relevant: I am 6'1, ~33" inseam - for reference:
I have a oneup 210 v2.1 dropper, and I barely make it work at the full 210mm. There is close to 15mm of exposed post from the top for the seattube to collar, and that's with max insertion. 210mm feels a tad bit overextended at some points(maybe 5-10mm max), but I haven't adjusted the travel as of yet.
