That bike only rates itself a 7. Being that cycling companies, in general, have an over inflated self image, Id give it a 3.

BTW, is that a full custom one or off the shelf?

Semi custom. I lowered the standover, changed the HT angle from 71 to 70, and it was build around the Marzocchi Marathon, which was probably a mistake. I think I should have gotten a Fox.

Im wondering if I could get a Lynski or a Seven made to take a 5inch fork and some extra gusseting. Someday anyway.

Anyway, thats a hell of a bike. I wouldnt worry too much about the fork unless its spewing oil or air or something.

I spent many weeks debating about this fork or that fork, and after all that deliberation I decided to f**k it, and get the fork I planned originally.

good choice i spent out the nose for a fork and while im thoroghly satisfied with what i have, i could have taken it a step down and ended with the same result

I'm sorry, but the Enduro is the end-all be-all of bicycles. You durn fvcked up.

I once heard an Enduro was ghost ridden down Rotorua and beat Sam Hill's time by 2 solid minutes...yes. It's just that awesome.

If you had a Marzocchi, you wouldn't have crashed your Fuse on the sidewalk.

If it has a 19" seattube, and 24" toptube, then yes, you messed up big time. Please send it to me for immediate destruction.
If not, no you didn't, those bikes are incredible.

lol if u think its hard designing a hardtail around a 5in, 6in was so impossible i eventually just decided to go with the enduro FS

You see, I knew I made a mistake. Does anyone want to trade my bike for an Enduro?
