I settled on SRAM GX DH groupset. Figuring out how to get the end cap off in order to fit a cassette removal tool was interesting! Turns out the end caps screw off. The cassette is interesting (to me) too; 11-speed spacing, uses an 11-speed chain, fits onto an HG freehub with the included thick spacer.

Thank Jesus for SRAM Matchmaker.
Hope 40mm 31.8mm 0 Degrees direct mount stem. I swear they had “gold” in the dropdown menu, but turns out they don’t make gold, and the box it came in says “bronze”. Pretty annoying as it’s a completely different colour to the gold Hope chainring I also ordered (these things piss me off!).
Robert (guy I bought the bike from) gave me a Ti spring which came off a small, or extra small DH bike. Can only assume that it’ll be better suited to my weight so I thought I’d swap it out (thank fuck I paid careful attention to him when he told me how to remove the rear shock).
Robert also just found the Sam Hill rear shock decal. He’s posting it to me so I might leave the shock out for now until the sticker gets to me (not a massive deal though as I’m not really trying to make an exact Sam Hill replica here and you can’t really see the shock piggy anyways).
