Trying to decide... Ripmo AF vs Sentinel

I have not asked re: the build itself. From reading Pinkbike and MTBR, seems like most people are getting random stuff changed - some are getting a Race Face cockpit instead of Ibis, Deore instead of NX, DVO Onyx and Fox 36 instead of DVO Diamond, etc. I expect that I’ll get some different parts than what I ordered back in May.

And usually when Ibis substitutes parts, they give a nice upgrade.
 
So... I get an email from my buddy Mike at Fullerton Bikes that he received my Ripmo AF today! So pumped!!! Dropped off some SLX brakes I bought along with some other parts I want on it and hopefully they’ll have it built in the next few days here. I love dealing with Mike and his crew! Also, pretty happy the bike Ibis shipped was with the new Deore 1x12 build kit vs the NX! Not sure what fork I got (one of techs had taken it home to build), but have been hearing people are getting DVO Onyx and Fox 36 instead of the DVO Diamond. We will see! Woot woot!

So stoked you got the new Deore. I've heard nothing but good things. Curious what brakes come with your bike? I would imagine they are Shimano's of some sort, no???

Not 100% sure, but thinking it’s the Shimano Deore M6100, 4-Piston ones. Those may go up for sale here soonish... or maybe I’ll save them to build a steel hardtail. I know my wife would be so happy if I did that! Right... Haha
