thanks. building up the other one now too. doubletracks on blue hope hubs, with de-stickered dropoff singles.
but keeping a pair of 888s or my dnms at hand for some more serious usage. maybe monster T's!?
we'll see how my riding sessions go this year

friking hell, all you do is moan at other bikes. this frame is warranted for 170mm forks, and i've seen plenty of them with 200mm triple clamps too - comfortably. This is one seriously strong bike frame... although it may look like a short headtube, it's 170mm in length, plus headset (195mm total) so that no short weak headtube!
thanks for the interest, but, no thanks

lol, like i said, it's warranted for 170mm travel. these are only currently set to 150mm... but i currently like the angle of the 150mm 
absolutely awesome! last season i had it running with SAS wheels, dropoff3 triples and it felt strong as hell.
It has allowed me to put more trust into hardtail since i dislocated my leg on my last one, ooops.
also, it was still light enough for 60mile bikerides. excellent design, lovely paintwork and angle.s pulling stoppie, endos, backhops etc are great.
I've now upgraded the suspension to 66rc's, with atomlab wheels and a spare set of doubletracks and 3" tyres...
a heavy, but wonderfully solid hardtail. doubt i'll be able to ride long distance though.

it currently has dmr moto tyres though.
and needs the gears retuning.. all complete... just tweaks
i can add 3" tyres too if you wish. £20.

yer, 3"
erm, £100 for tuning of the gears, ie, loosen, tightened, and re-greased. don't think so.
i guess thats ends our negotiations?

From one dan to another, that frame is sweet, yes there are some other nice freeride hardtails around, probably the EVIL comes close to the quality i am talking about.
Are you the creator of the frame?
If so welldone...

Hey
no, Duncon bikes made the frame, both infact!
I kno Evil Imperials are good frames, but I know these are possibly just as strong...
Not heard of one breaking yet!!
For sale too!!?
