==Goal==
More of a design excersise and just a fun project rather than a performance machine. A fire road commuter? An urban drunk bike? A long haul adventure bike? Who knows?
==Adjustable BB Height==
A Phil Wood 1/2 link eccentric BB will provide bottom bracket heights within a 6mm range. A subtle tuning feature that could really help the bike. At the very least it will give the bike a single speed option.

==Headshok==
80mm Cannondale Headshok DLR. A nice little unit with rebound and lockout adjustment.

==Geometry Change with Fork Travel==
*@ 60mm Ride Height - 71 HA, 285.8mm BBH
<br>
*@ 80mm Ride Height - 70 HA, 292.5mm BBH
*@ 0mm Ride Height - 74 HA, 262.2mm BBH

This is uncharted territory. I have to start with something. This seems as close as anything.
