Thanks Darren,
Here is the issue that I believe you will come up against as I did earlier on. If you lower the dropouts that much, your chain will hit the lower chain stay in the higher gears. I initially had that same thought.
I am going to experiment with a taller handlebar and dropping the stanchions in the triple clamp. Right now it has some serious over steer. As a last resort, I have a 150mm single crown fork on my trail bike and will try that out. If all fails, this frame will hit the for sale section.
I have a Gary Fisher Kingfisher 1 that has much better geometry. I have already figured out the battery attachment issue for that bike and it is waiting in the wings should the DH Comp shit the bed.
Another thing that I have considered is to convert the bike to a 29er and just use a 29er Suntour XCR fork that I have laying around; or maybe convert it to 650b. Once you cut off the rear drop outs and switch to bolt on drop outs, the possibilities are endless
Good luck with your build
