Loved it, such a capable bike (altho i'm coming off a 120mm HT albeit fairly hardcore). I get your point on the seat stays but it probably gives the rear end a little bit more flex.

The stainless front triangle is stunning IRL. The logos are etched onto the frame.

 Koval - it was a fun ride for sure. Reminded me of riding a DH bike on the way down but made easy work if the ups.

Diesel - definitely your cup of tea. You could get a super big custom one. IIRC He said hes just made one for someone who was 6'5"

 Dud you enjoy it dude , I really like em but think the rear end would look better with straight / diagonal seat stays

 Looks good , i need a longer bike my self before i ruin my knees

 Classy! Bet you enjoyed the moments with her
