No, full sus.
Paisley freight are collecting this on Wednesday.
It’s an LTS 5000 which is all steel so I can easily chop it up and modify it.
Rear travel ain’t going to be huge but just enough to take the edge off stuff I’m hoping.
It’ll get a new 44mm headtube, much slacker hta, new top and down tubes, possibly new seattube too if it’s a) not possible to get a good sta and bb drop with how it is and b) if it’s some silly size that I can’t get a dropper into.
Disc tab/chop the rim brake tabs on the swing arm I think though I am half tempted to keep the v brake for some real business up front, party in the rear mullet-ness!
Tyre clearance might need some work as I’ll want to get at least a 2.4 in it, maybe I’ll see if it’d be at all possible to fit a 27.5” wheel in the back.
