Just under 6'5" and on an xl transition smuggler, first bike to truly fit me. Excellent reach for us tall types. You don't need longer travel because you're getting better

And the winning post is from .... Euro. Cheers buddy!

Thanks to all, but I've just pulled the trigger on some 140mm Pikes having just noticed that Radon are speccing 140mm forks on their HD version of the Slide (with the same frame as mine).

Drooling over a new bike now deferred ...

Hurrah for me! Wise choice poey.

Drooling is much less expensive than buying 😀 Enjoy the new forks.
