I've assembeled the bike myself, except for the wheels that were built by Dirt King in Geneva (Switzerland). It took me roughly 6-7 hours.
Still waiting on my BOS Syors (coil)... so for now I have the Kirk Smile

I’m 1.75cm. The size is perfect. I could even live with a longer reach. Of course, the bike seems long compared to what most of us have been used to for several year, but to me that’s a real benefit - mostly in high speed and steep terrain but also in tight/technical stuff. I come from a Dune XR which is almost as long and slack so I quickly felt at home on the G16. For me the only factor to limit the reach is that you still need a comfortable position to pedal up ...

Simplicity and effectiveness in all of their glory. Indeed a beautiful bike. I'm interested in buying the same frame. Can i ask what is your height and how the size of the frame feels? I am 174cm -or 5 feet and 8.5 inches. Im afraid that even the small frame could be big for me. I ask because in Greece there is no dealer for nicolai and i cant test the size. Thanks for the pictures.
