I searched for anything about this and found nothing, is anyone running a 888 on a M1?(it would be an 03), if so, do you like it? anything else you might want to add would be great, thank you for your time, Morgan

FWIW I measure the BB height and HA of one at Supergo. BB height was around 15 3/4 and the HA was 64 deg. Seemed completely out of whack if it's supposed to be a race bike. BTW, the rear link was set max high to help the HA and the 888 was an 8" version set at minimum height. Marz crowns.

I'm trying to find out the hard way.

First a stock 888R won't fit on a large M1 frame. The max stack height plus headtube is 160mm. The M1 is 170mm. I've ordered a Go-Ride lower crown but it hasn't arrived yet. The fork is leaning against the wall right now. :(

friend of mine is running this combo. on flat ground, it feels super slack. he said the same. going downhill he said it all fell into place and felt fine.
