I found that increasing the head pipe lenth increases low end power and didn't hurt topend power.
What kind of bike is that? Also awesome looking build!
Hey sorry I didn't reply sooner!
The frame is a Nashbar mountain bike frame.

The company doesn't sell a complete bike using this frame. They just sell the frame. I found the bike in my local classifieds for like $220. Considering the fork is worth close to that alone (Fox Vanilla 32), I think I did alright!
