Thanks, what was the down side? Really interested to hear the issues / experience. 

I've the bike for a while and I've been really happy with the ride so it's just the lefty I'm thinking of swapping in. Just received the Lefty, very happy. It's in great nick had a recent, full service, came with a AC lefty hub so now just needs a converter and a rim / wheel build. Might be a terrible idea in the end but fun to find out. At worst I guess I've got a fork now if I want to swap the frame back to a HT and roll around like that. 

The headset angle is changed too much with  the 9er fork, as is the case with a Lefty 29er fork. The 26" Lefty fork works well as it doesn't make the front of the bike too high. I thought mine looked out of place as the top tube was angled too steep like yours.

But my wife just told me, don't be a box. 

I thought I was just giving my 2 cents. Please don't be offended by opinion
