Have you ridden it yet? Seems like it is a love or hate kind of frame based on feedback I have read...(several poeple selling and going back to the M6 because of wierd wheel rate..linear to HARD ramp at the end) although running in the 8" setting and a good shock (as you have) seem to be key.
BTW, PLEASE hit 'enter' between your pictures (IMG tags) so they scroll down and not across. As posted, the format SUCKS to try to read/look at.
