Andrew, I'm going to have to STRONGLY agree with you about the fork idea on budget bikes, definitely don't put a 7lb, almost POS sus fork on, instead put a nice steel, rigid with clearance for good 3" rubber on at least an i35 rim. Also, as you suggested, running a mullet on this particular setup would make even more sense, but def with no less than a 2.6" outback, preferably a 2.8".
I clicked on the link to the El Roy, had not heard about that one yet and was actually getting quite excited seeing a frame only option, then went to the geo chart and had to shake my head as I read the 78* STA :facepalm: Guess these would only be used to suffer the climbs to "enjoy" the descents :skep:
_\[Editor's note\] Andrew, you need to do a quick check over for spelling mistakes lad, there's a few ;-)_
