Yes the fork is pretty long travel. Did it come new with that fork? That's what I'm not sure on.
I'm not sure if it came with those forks as stock, I bought the bike second hand. So the bike looks to be in a natural position to you?

They are 26" wheels. I suppose I'm just trying to make the bike a bit smaller, as well as improving the looks.
Is my bike any good by the way? I have no idea about these things.
