That's exceptional! Are the forks single crown made in to double crown? Genius.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yes, reduced travel down to about 9cm and crowns from 888's fitted. Spring removed from one side.

Still a few things to sort such as less powerful brakes and it'll be ready to rock.

cheers

Re:

It looks mint and serves a purpose! Will you reduce the length of the crank arms as well?

Incredible, did you do all the mods yourself? What size are the rotors, 180mm? Where's the front lever gone? I wish I was 6 now!
