" its obvioulsy how its been designed in the first place"
I realise that having read further down the thread. I didn't think to retype what I'd written relating to what had been posted before the bottomed out shock catching the frame as new, if that makes nay sense. Basically mostly ignore that entire post
I'm pretty suprised it phycially bottoms out on the frame from new though
Some bikes move so far the tyre hits the seatube, in the end something stops it somewhere..

i've done the same on my own rotec but have no pics to prove it. i have rotate the seatclamp round at a funny angle so the lever doesn't point rearwards!
with air shocks you can make them more progressive by packing the can with grease to reduce the volume. if it really does achieve 50mm stroke you can add grease till it doesn't hit the frame.
When I had them, the back wheels on both my Patriot 66's and 224 used to hit the back of the seat and front mech cable stop. I never even noticed it when riding.
What a great picture..
£40 for TF Tuned to alter the stroke 
though i was about right
