I think I want to stick to the offset number; I don't want to "add slack" to an already very slack frame.
As far as travel goes, just wondering if I find a good deal on, say, a used Lyric or 36 Performance with more or less travel than I need, if I can change that by changing the air springs.
I did a little research and it doesn't look like I can take, say, a Rhythm series Fox fork, and change it to a Factory fork by changing out the internals. It just doesn't seem to work that way but please correct me if I am wrong.
I like it, a steel HT sounds like fun.
Unfortunately they don't list max fork for the frame but it looks like they do use a 150mm which is a pretty big fork for a HT.
Get the factory fork if you really want the factory fork. Trying to change out parts here and there is just not a sensible idea. Again you won't save money double buying parts. If you do have that specific bike and parts selection I wouldn't feel a huge need to upgrade the fork the Bomber Z1 is a good solid fork and I believe Marzocchi is now owned by the same folks who own Fox. What are you looking for specifically in the fork that say the Bomber Z1 couldn't give you?
