Will you try the Manitou 1 on there? I think that might make it even more fun to ride (it would also look really good I think, tie right in with the, grey tyres, different silver metal tones etc).
All the silver and blue gives me some good ideas for my IBOC Team build v.2
Thanks! I am going to leave it as is. I love M1s ... at least the look. The forks on it are nearly identical in length and rake to a M1, at least from comparing them in the shop jig which is why I used it. The tires probably give it as much "travel" as a M1 fork would lol.
The big problem I have with the M1/M2 design, apart from that they really don't have any travel, is the loading slouch on them (less of a negative on non suspension adjusted frames). I have switched to springs on all my Manitous, and set up them up super stiff. I just did a bunch for some fun builds I have on tap.
