I have a 5" sherman on my Specialized Hard rock right now.....commuted in with it. 
It is a little raked out....I am just messing aroud with it and reall y like my 4" Zoke DJ3 on the same bike. Better for commuting.

Been running a Sherman Flick+ (6") on my Soul Cycle Titan ... Love it!stinkyboy said:
I know Soul Cycle was going to be blowing out last year’s stock sometime soon... so if you're patient enough (was supposed to happen in December) you might get a really good deal.
had my 6" sherman slider on a IH Yakuza hardtail. .no probs at all. jumped and trail ridden.
i currently have a boxxer on my evil imp. was fun @ nam but pedaling uphill kinda sucked.
I have a 6" shermam firefly on my Titan right now also. It handles really well.
I have an old Kona Chute with a five inch Junior T
that looks wierd how the seat is up so far. but what ever works works

I second that notion. I have the same frame and fork. Soulcycles never seems to update their website but they always return email and phone calls promptly. Just call them up. I'm sure that they will hook you up with a great deal.
Here's mine:
in action:
Got to be either an Imperial or a Ridge, both AWESOME all around bikes with 6" forks.

Another really nice featue of the flick / titan combo is that you can lock down the travel, put the seat up, and actually ride it like an xc bike to the top of the hill.
O. ya didn't think of that. my P2 looks like that after a climbSlugman said:
on the right frame, the 6" sherman is sweeeeeeeet. :love:
hey i use that have a banshee with a 7" fork on it and i loved the thing thuogh it was more "geared" (it was ss setup) for fr and dh but if i have like a 6" sc fork and gears the thing could have been an ok trail bike as well
I've got a Chameleon with an 04 Z1 FRQr20, set up proper with Diabolus components and I absolutely love the bike. I've though about getting a newer Z1 for 6" of travel but it rides so great with 5", and I don't have to use the ETA all the time for climbing - I think you would with a 6" fork. I would never go with more than 6" on a hardtail. I think that any more travel and you're not really getting a benefit from it, 'cuz it's still a HARDTAIL.
6" sherman firefly on a hard tail - my trail bike
6" sherman breakout on a sinister ridge. the combo is just amazing.
Planet X Compo w/6" 1998 Super T. More fun than should be allowed by law.
