It’s getting a full 10 speed XT group to include the hubs which are 135.

You might want to order a
Hurdy Gurdy tensioner to keep the rear wheel from pulling forward under load.
Decals are on top of the paint, so you can scrape any/all of them off if you want a cleaner look.
Thanks, I didn’t realize slippage was a problem until I googled it I’ve never had that issue before but I just ordered a pair. I don’t plan on cutting the steerer unless it looks bad uncut I’m going to use my redshift kitchen sink bars and I want the tops level with the saddle because it’s easier to breathe in the winter with a more upright position.
