what you rekon

[Ben]

that looks like a full sus frame to me. what travel forks were you thinking of getting? horizontal of vert dropouts?

[swifty15uk]

i like the idea of horizontal dropouts
and was thinking of running about a 160mm single crown fork like a 66 or something

DMR Ex[alt], fantastic bikes!

Look at the "swapout" system, its a great idea IMO, and there are actually far less Ex[alt]s around.

243 are far better than DMR, but that balfa is too good to miss at that price and would be lovely with some 66's up front...
