2015 Medium El Mariachi size Medium with basically everything replaced except the seatpost collar... Framesheet document attached with the geometry and other info.

29" Wheels, Size Medium. Setup singlespeed but includes the hanger for running it geared. When I would swap back and forth I'd just keep the derailleur/housing/shifter as one piece and just slap it on with zip ties. When swapping back to singlespeed I'd just cut those zip ties and pull off the derailleur/shifter/housing as one piece.

GLWS, what is replacing it?
I have really no idea.

I'm trying not to have a million bikes, but I'd like another SS Hardtail and also a longer travel bike than my Tallboy...

But I have trouble justifying either of those while I have this one.

I love this bike but I just haven't ridden it much in the past year. I just looked at Strava and it says I ran for 113 hours this year, so that's a big chunk of why...

He's a large. Otherwise I'm sure it would be sold.

This is the nicest color and the one he doesn't have.
Right, I ride a large. Wrong, white is the nicest color, along with the elusive 2016 red. Right again, I don’t have this color and I’m monitoring the market for it, which I would run as a SS from suspension ( the white one is a full rigid). I’be considered a medium for the gravel setup but I’m going to give the large a swirl first, looks big but feels right. GLWTS.

Buy the frame and I'll take everything off of it to sell. :)

I feel like if someone wants to buy this frame without the rear wheel, they don't deserve it. :)

What if that someone already has a $3,000 pair of Zipps for it 🤣

Oh wait, I forgot the El Mariachi isn't Boost. Do we know if it can swap drops to get 148mm? I know the TJ can go down to 142 if needed.

Never mind. I don’t need the wheels.

Pretty sure 135/142 only.

This is setup 135. Hub comes with the QR axle and bolt on axle.

Phil WORD hub with a freewheel is probably the strongest hub you can get.

Not boost, but if you don’t mind the chain/seat stays flexing a little a boost hub will fit. I bought a boost wheelset and I only realized it was boost because the front would not fit, but the rear went in with very little effort. @jimvreeland you’re probably the best person to judge if this is safe or not.
