I'm very interested in the Fat Beat and Fat Ti, but have a couple of questions for you. I'm fairly large (6'2", 210 lbs), and am not particularly trusting of air shocks, between maintenance, blown seals, high pressure requirements, etc. Give me an ol' reliable coil spring and a damper. According to the Headshok homepage, the DD60 upgrade kit is a coil spring, but only has 60 mm travel. If I were to purchase either frameset, could I get it with the DD60 as OEM? Would the decrease in travel screw up the geometry? Thanks in advance Doug Estok
