I was a bit concerned that I'd get FOMO when HTP released his new model, but not knowing the details or release date I wasn't going to wait. I watched his video and the geo isn't particularly interesting to me. * STA too steep * STL too short * HTL too short * T47 BB - nope * Reach too long I built a custom shreddy 29+ bikepacking rig and there's nothing in the HTP rig I'd port over or change on the hardtail I had built. He obviously has some specific ideas about what he likes and he rides lots so I'm not arguing with his preferences. Different strokes for different folks.  Binary will customize a frame for ~$500USD. It's not clear from the website how much the geo can be changed. Once you are up to that sort of price you could get a full custom steel frame from a Canadian/US builder or go with a full custom Chinese Ti frame.  While it didn't tick my boxes it's interesting to see what other people choose when they build a custom bike for a similar purpose to something you've built/own. _FWIW - Steve at HTP has totally different body dimensions than I do so I'm guessing that drives a bunch of the different geo preferences we have._
