Nice - what size of tyres are you running there?
I'm wondering which tyre direction to go - either a lightweight 2.1/2.25" for extreme mincing or try and squeeze in 2 kilos of 2.6" rubber just for a laugh
I had a pair of 2.3" Mavic Crossmax or something on mine as a middle of the road option & there looked to be plenty of room to spare - last mtb was a 27.5+ & the 2.8s just floated over everything, was quite an eye opener

Decided to strip this down for a bit of an update - bought it originally as a cheap hack mtb but it's great fun so decided to freshen it up. It's at the powdercoaters just now, have an XT m8000 groupset & some jazzy E13 wheels ready to go on, the original Recon Gold fork has been serviced & increased from 80-120mm previously so they're a bit more usable (that slackened the head angle a couple of degrees too)
