Building A Privateer 141 Gen 2 Worth It?

This is the Privateer 141 Gen 2… and this will be my FIRST time ever building a bike from the frame up! I’m not a pro rider or a professional bike mechanic—just a guy who loves upgrading bikes. So, I’ve got a lot to figure out, including: ✅ What are all the parts I need? ✅ Are there any specialty tools required? ✅ And most importantly… Did I choose the right frame? 📦 The Build Begins 📦 The Privateer 141 Gen 2 is a no-nonsense alloy frame with 141mm of rear suspension travel, a flip chip for a mullet setup, and adjustable chainstays. With a Fox Factory 36 fork, carbon wheels, and a mix of trail and enduro components, I’m calling this build a “Trail-Duro” bike—a perfect blend of agility and downhill capability! 🔧 Parts List (So Far): ✔️ Privateer 141 Gen 2 Frameset ✔️ Fox Factory 36 Fork (Orange!) ✔️ Proven Carbon Wheels + Maxxis Tires ✔️ Trail One Carbon Bars, Stem, Grips, Pedals ✔️ SRAM BB ✔️ Fox DHX2 Coil Shock (Keeping the air shock for future testing) ✔️ Fox Transfer Dropper Post ✔️ EDS 2.0 Electronic Shifter ✔️ CrankBros On-Bike Tool TT17 🛠️ What’s Missing? I NEED YOUR HELP! I still need to pick out: ❓ Brakes (Wouldn’t gold TRP brakes look awesome? 🤔) ❓ Rotors ❓ Crankset (Talking with Garbaruk about their Enduro crankset) ❓ Chainring ❓ Cassette 💬 Comment Below: What brakes would YOU choose?
