Sounds nice. How about a Banshee Scratch frame instead. I have one and it rides really well for an aggressive/DH frame. Banshee say it will work with up to an 8 inch fork, but I'm not sure how it would ride. I have just put a 66 on mine, its really slowed the steering so you have to adjust your riding style, but its good for the steeper stuff. Only problem is the BB as its a BMX shell so using gears might be a problem as some chain guides might not work.

Well thats why im going for the Morphine....I asked the guys at Banshee and they said that i could put a Super Monster on it if i wanted and it would take it like a champ.. And the BB is euro so i can use my current crankset and have NO Chain guide problems whatso ever.

The coil version of the totem probably costs the same as a triple 8. As for the cranks, I run the hollzfellers on my v10 and love 'em.

I'm chucking my holzfellers on the FS bike, getting some more saints, allready run them on the jump bike and looove them! Hollowtech II, could you ask for anymore?

Why are you set on dual crowns?

Personally I would go for a 66 or Totem, or possibly shorter, Domain for example.
