I like what you did w/ the disc Simon, but given the stylings of your other bikes, I think you could have done much better with your shock.. an RS24, the BGM F16 (even though I haven't heard GREAT reviews, they'd be better than the SIP), a Fournales (BEST) or even a Bitubo would have all been better choices in my O!.. You could powdercoat the springs or whatever to match your new paint etc.!
I had a pair of SIP shocks, too stiff, the front adjustment really didn't seem effective, so I sold 'em.. I've got one left on the rear of one of my bikes, and as soon as I can put together the bread, it's gone!

Just offering opinions because you have Very Nice bikes, and it'd be a shame not to do better with the shocks!

Cheers

Sterling (spaq) uses sand cast hubs. Others use high pressure cast hubs. you may want to rethink your conversion choice; your health and safety is worth it.
