'02 Titus Switchblade
5.7" rear travel
5" front with '02 psylo sl, sometimes a manitou black super air at 120mm
26-29lbs, depending on which wheelset, fork and tires I am running
I get 45mm shock travel on average with the fox float, or 135mm total travel, of a claimed 50mm, but I can only get a max of 49 when the shock is deflated and the most I ever got was 47mm with proper sag.
All this will change when I get the manitou swinger upgrade in a month. I'll probably lose some weight with that shock, but gain it right back and more when I put a new fork on. I was ready to buy an '03 sherman firefly, but the '04s will have SPV, and be available in a few months anyway, so I may as well wait. The new Minute forks look interesting, but no thru-axle means I won't be buying one.
I also have an '01 Jamis Dakar expert, '02 GF Paragon, '96 nishiki pinnacle (my 1st real mtn bike), and some other frames and partially built bikes.
