unless I make a new rear end for it
That would be pretty rad. As if it's not rare enough but it would surely become one of a kind at that point.
Do you have the skills/knowledge/tools to produce a new rear end yourself? Would be great to see that process documented here. Fabricating a new rear end gets my vote.I bought a dh bike a couple of years ago from a world cup race team and have slowly been pimping it up. Its pretty much done now.
Had thought about making a CP thread for it but didnt think there would be much interest here in a modern dh bike build but seems I was wrong.Love the Turner. When I was young I always lusted after the dhr frame.

If I do make a new rear end for it, it'll be steel or Alu and not Carbon, the rear end on it had like flex so you pull it into shape on the mount.
I've never made anything carbon before although I have thought about trying to make a Lahar style bike as the guy who made them wasn't big budget and it was all done very cheap so I'm guessing it's possible with the right know how!
Yeah the Turner is nice, although haven't rode it yet, seemed like a practically bike to get as most stuff is XC/enduro now and downhill ain't what it was in term of popularity!

The Lahar will have a 650b front and 26" rear unless I make a new rear end for it and make it 650b F&R, its a project that I started buying bits for that then I got side tracked with other stuff.
Kona Stab has been relegated to the loft for the time being as I have the Turner now, but I am looking for a set of forks either a fox 36's or Zoochi 55's.
