And now for something totally different

Re:

Looks like a hoot! I must admit though that I had a 150mm hardtail and found it too much, the change in geometry as the fork travelled through was a bit of a handful. Are the Boxxers limited or are they fully operational?
 
The Boxxers have been reduced to 160mm, the head set is extremely slack to start with which makes a massive difference as does the stupidly low bottom bracket, been riding it over the FoD today and by the end I didn't really noticed the lack of rear suspension as it just flows over everything.
 
Really starting to get to grips with this bike now, it doesn't forgive you if you get it wrong but it sure as hell rewards you if you get it right.

looks awesome!

loving the blue black and gold colour theme going on there!

looking forward to seeing it with a front wheel! :)

Just for you a very rare photo of the front wheel fitted (I normally store it with the wheels off and only fit them when I'm out riding)



And for minty freshness my herb garden is in the back ground.
 
It has a 61 degree head tube and a 72 degree seat tube

Re:

Wow, that is quite modern! A riding buddy here builds a similar geometry bike and I am very curious how that feels on the trail. I'
m used to 73 (seat tube) /71 (steerer tube) degree frames.
 
Looks cool that does! Thanks for the pic with the front wheel :)

Just out of interest, (I'm not doubting it's strength or ability here) but will it be ok with those big triple clamps? When I was younger a few of my mates ripped off head tubes off their hard tails due to running similar fork as it caused extra stress round the head tube being such a stiff fork compared to the frame - I was always told it was a 'no go' but then I am a bit out of touch with some of the more modern downhill set ups - looks lovely though, great choice of components/colour scheme :)
