So, with a high dollar Fox36 RC2 fork, unobtainium wheels (for now, as they're
under press embargo to even discuss), and up-speccing every part that has a
contact patch… it's an awesome bike. Actually quite easy to believe, but there
are probably better ways to achieve the same or similar configuration that
cost less.
As much as I feel like I've ruined the geometry (specifically too much bottom
bracket height and too steep a head tube angle) on my Rocky Mtn Instinct by
tossing a 20mm longer travel Pike fork and longer (RT3-DBA) shock bringing
rear travel to 145mm, even putting a 160mm air spring in the fork my bb is
lower, and currently mine is still slacker at 150/145 travel; my whole setup
runs less than the ProjectOne frame.
