There is probably someone smarter than me who can help... but I'll give it a go... It looks like a DW-Link, which would make it Pivot, Ibis, Turner.... Turner never made a bike with that shock orientation, and it looks of a vintage that would compete with the Mojo which is pretty distinct and carbon, so my best guess is it's a Pivot prototype, or someone wanted their own DW-link bike, but seems too well made... maybe a Pivot Mach 5.7 proto?... what is rear shock stroke?

You can raise the stanchions in the crowns to an extent, just likely not enough to fully make up for the longer axle to crown and increased wheel diameter. I believe Fox specifies about 20mm of adjustment, though it would be smart to release the air from the fork and make sure your lower crown won't hit the lowers when making any adjustments.

I would jump on it if it's in good condition. If I'm not mistaken you could drop the clamps down on the stanchions to compensate for the increase stack height? Can't do that on a single crown, of course. 29 and 27.5 axles/rotors should be interchangeable provided they're both 15x110.

That Spindrift is PIMPED to the last detail, with top of the line color matched comps & frame... that would be my pick!

Best attempt yet IMO. Lighter than your standard gearbox, less unsprung weight, uses more/less standard cogs, allows shifting under load, nifty freewheel systems for better shifting period. Some really clever stuff going on. And a hella lot simpler looking than Supre' drive.

Yeah, really curious how they're going to pull that off. Based on the clever way they're approaching this, I think this could be a major step forward in removing the drivetrain mass from the unsprung mass.
