Manitou dorado question
So I'm getting a custom dh bike frame built...hopefully as a 69 er...I'm 7 feet tall so was thinking the big wheel up front may offset some of the Endo tendency inherent in my size. Looks like manitou dorado is really my only option, as the wb groove fork doesn't do drop crown so would have to be travel reduced to like 6 inches.
Question is...is that fork suitable for my size ? Am also 260lbs and have broken like 7 frames now.
Hopefully also gonna do angleset so I can swap to 26er without much geo change if I don't love the 69er thang....
Thoughts?
