That's going to be a sweet build dude. I just ordered frame and fork for my Double. Looks like we're both gonna spend too much money in the near future. I ordered the Double in Baby Blue (large) and a Talas RC2 fork. Quite the dent in my wallet, but well worth it.

i went out to some bike shops today, and saw some of the jamis bikes. one had a totem and one had the fox.

ive decided that fox fork is sickkkk i was screwing around with the travel adjust and it is a sick design u just turn a dial hting and it clicks to 100 130 or 160 soo starting from 160 wen u go lower u have to compress the fork but it compresses easily. then when u want more u just flick it up and it smoothly extends back to full, its soo nice

and u could feel a HUGE difference between the weight of the front ends between the totem and the fox

soo im thinkin get the fox.
its lighter,
and has 60mm travel adjust with half the work of u-turn that only has 45 on all forks
also the silvery gray colour will look sweet with some gray deity bars and stem, maybe kranks to if i dont get saints
