Looking forward to see what you think of it. I just got mine a few weeks ago
and it's been great so far. I tried to build it light, but mostly I just used
the stock XTR 1 x kit with the Stans Wheels/36/Inline. The only swap I made
was putting some Schwalbe Hans Dampf 2.25 in for the Minions. The tires are
very light and have a surprising amount of grip.
The HD3 is a great bike so far, but much different than the 650b Nomad I have
built up. Best description I've got is that it is a sharp handling bike. Sharp
handling, pedaling, etc. Worth the price IMO. I guess my only gripes are that
the medium comes with a 125 mm post and the medium doesn't have the extra
bottle cage mount under the down tube. Not the biggest deal, but it's awesome
to go for a big ride and not have to carry a pack.
