68/73 just means a 68mm shell, so an extra 2.5mm spacer behind each cup of the BB for a 73mm mountain BB.

I don't know anything about that particular bike so please verify all this independently but 68/73 doesn't make sense to me; 68mm is road standard, 73mm is MTB standard (this says it's 73mm: https://products.mtbr.com/product/bikes/freeride-hardtail/evil/imperial…). This https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1719456/ lists the rear dropouts as 135mm (this is the old quick release standard), and it should fit an 11-speed: https://www.mtbr.com/threads/11-speed-with-135mm-rear.919300/ 1x up front is fine, but not Boost. Really your best bet is to take the frame down to your local bike shop and get them to sort you out Good luck!

Neat project! You could try asking Greg at https://www.buttersuspension.com/, he knows a TON about older MTBs and suspension stuff and I bet he could point you in the right direction (and probably help source parts).

1/14/2024 2:20pm Dear riders, After 25 years, I've embarked on a rather ambitious project to rebuild my evil imperial bike from scratch, and I'm reaching out to the biking community for some valuable guidance. As I'm starting from the ground up, I'll need to purchase various components, and I'm realizing that determining the correct sizes for certain parts is crucial. I'm particularly...
