A small 2002 shore frame.. witha 5" sc fork ?

dual 26" wheels? possibly dual 24"s or 26/24"
i can make it what ever i want really..

but with a 5" fork ?

thats a 6" travel frame eh? that wouldnt be bad at all... just run a stiffer spring if you find yourself unbalanced

go for dual 24s. looks so pimp imo.. 8)

Why not? You can lower it down to 5.5"
It'd be rad.

Dude put it in the 4 inch travel setting. I have it in there all the time, with my 7" boxxer, it feels weird, but i hate rear suspension. BUY IT FROM ME!!!

do it.
you can put it in the middle hole,which gives 5.45 i think...the middle hole has a slacker head angle and lower bb hight,so it'll feel a bit more balanced with the SC fork.i used to have shore link plates for my vps1,and with a 5 inch Z1 it felt great.
the sherman is stiff enough to make it feel alright.

i would also run a dual 24 setup to keep the bike super low hight with a nice low bb..it would rail so SO good!
doooo it.

Go dual 26, i myself hate the feel of dual 24. The bike should feel fine with the fork.

Totally do-able:)
I'd go 26/24 and maybe reduce rear travel if needed.
But even in the 6" setting the shore's feel like they only have 3 anyways:rolleyes:
