That's a sweet build though... insanely light for 7'' travel.
I actually tried to get more travel initially, but didn't think about the too-short rebound damper rod. I posted the mods on the Shocks and Suspension ...

That would be a tall seatube. I will say that the ASR is a fast bike but watch the seattube. I

I think the extra travel would cause the wheel to bump into the
seat tube
(could vary depending on tire size used)

What headset is that? Looks nice and
low profile...I have issues with
needing bars quite low and therefore a low stack h/set.
