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.

Shut the hell up about the fork, be happy with your god damn marzocchi

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.

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