I could , but choose not to.

Would like to keep it in the pristine condition it is in so the buyer truly gets an unbelievably good buy.

This is currently what I spend time on

 

Fair enough, but you're missing out!!

having a bit of difficulty with this one,

 

What's ya'll guys thoughts on slapping a 150mm fork on a single track/ trail / Aggressive XC rig which has a headtube angle of 68deg. and with sag is 66.9deg.

 

or should i be in another thread.....

What is the rig begging for a transformation?

Well there will definitely be no enduro riding on any of those XC-looking hardtails...

Thank your lucky stars for the ... the Summer Season frame from On-One can be raced DH if that is what gives you a kick.

 

Couple of ref pics of the headangle with a decent fork.

So these bikes don't end up with super high BB's because of the long forks?

Hmmm - would be wary of putting a 150mm fork on a 2011 EX5. It's designed to have a 120mm fork - you could be risking a snapped frame along with GBH to yourself. Check what a Trek agent has to say.

Trek says its not advisable and would void any warranties since it would stress the head tube etc.

Yup - figures - you're in Trek Remedy territory with a 150mm fork. Proper enduro beast - not forgetting the Slash of course...
