I always build myself, its the best way with top end stuff, you get exactly what you want. Just need the Cane Creek shock then its done.

What you see there probably cost me 6.5k ish. UK off the peg price is 6k without the ENVE wheels.

Is there any negatives to increasing front fork length from 120mm to 150mm? Does it cause any structural problems? Keep feeling like I'm going over the bars on mine and wondered if putting some longer forks would help.....

you should have it by Monday Tuesday at the latest. Jimbo increasing the fork travel on a bike that's desgined for 120mm can mess up the geo and possibly put excess stress on on the headstock etc but then barnes went from 120mm to 140mm and he hasn't had any problems I don't think not sufe how well it would work on a 29er though if anything it will slacken the head angle a bit

it basically describes what the surrey hills are like and who rides there etc ie at the beginning it says about the London bankers on expensive bikes that's true the cheese straws from the bakery is true its just a piss take. But believe me its a well known fact that the surrey hills is some of the best riding in the uk

I would go up 10mm 20mm max, over that the front bar height will start getting pretty tall imho.
