Did you ever look into the cost of having the fork lengthened to 160mm? It is
a 160mm chassis so it would either be really cheap/free (remove spacer, swap
bumper, push pin), or relatively cheap (replace air system).
It sounds like a totally uninspiring - ~$6500 - trail bike with shit wheels
could have been a very good - ~$7000 - trail bike with shit wheels if you had
upgraded the tires (heavier -- stock tires will never please everyone) and had
the fork bumped up 20mm?
