is that a nomad with 40s???
it sure is. i have it dropped down to 7.5" though, that way the axle-crown height is about the same as a 180mm single crown fork.
Heyy i was wondering if you could ship to Blain, Washington? and is the price firm?
please send me Phone number

I see)I thought you'd broken it) I just know that on this frame can be set fork only till 180 mm, but this fox is 200 mm, Is it ok?
i dropped the fork 1/2", which puts me at barely over 180mm, and i was using a zero stack headset. the axle-crown height was just about the same as a 180mm single crown fork. the geometry was still very good
165mm in the rear! haha. with the fork dropped to 7 1/2" no it wasn't annoying, aside from riding places that needed more travel... is it annoying riding a bike with 120mm travel up front and zero mm in the rear? nah, just a different feel 
thats such a cool setup for 98% of the riding I would think.. unconventional but cool at the same time... if the rear end doesn't cut it put a RC4 on it that is unless your going HUGE !!
Curious how much that weighed when it was build up like in the pic?

it weighed right around the 37-38lb mark. not as light as you may expect, turns out those frames aren't crazy light. the build in the pic consisted of juicy 7's, 8" front, 7" rear, dt swiss 340 hubs (which i laced to mavic 823's after the pic was taken), truvativ stylo cranks, lg1 guide, sram x9 drive chain, shifter, and derailleur, sdg ti-fly saddle, and a thomson seat post.
yes!!! you have a N-64 the best gaming system ever..... and the bike.... it's ok
Nah i'm just joking arround, i love the set up you have on that rig, sweet ride

trade frame+cranks+wheels for my glory 0 frame+cranks+wheels (yours is 135, mine is 150 rear spacing and mine has a 83mm bb shell). i know it is the fr version but it jumps way better than the dh and because of the 1.5 headtube you can use a 2degree head angle 1.5-1 1/8 reducer to give it a 65degree ha
let me know,
thanks,

wouldn't the 40's throw the geometry off? maybe i'll do that with mine . I have a totem now but do you think i'll notice much of a difference?

i dropped the 40 half an inch so the total travel was 7 1/2". that way the axle-crown height was similar to a 180mm single crown fork. i also used a cane creek zero stack headset so the geometry was affected less. i didn't notice any disadvantages from this setup, aside from making frame bumpers was a pain in the ass because the stock ones wouldn't contact. i ended up making some burly bumpers to prevent the lower crown from wrecking the frame. it worked well though, once removed there were only two very very small gouges, couldn't even call it a dent.
