Yep that's the right one. Also make sure your super deluxe has a bushing in the eyelet when you get it.

How do you think this bike would handle with 150mm travel front and rear?

I think it should be more playful at that configuration. Currently The bike that I built is set at 159/170mm, it feels plush, like riding on a magic carpet.

And how does it pedal? Is it decent in flats and climbs?

I don't know how familiar you are with progressive geometry, but steep seat tube angles have noticeably countered the problem of pedaling/climbing a long travel bike. Better suspension has helped a lot with that problem too.

As long as you're working with decently efficient suspension, weight/rolling resistance is usually more of a problem than the amount of travel you have.

The seat tube on a modern long travel bike is already so steep that shortening the fork will make the handling skittish and keep you from getting weight over the back with the dropper up. Personally I don't think most modern bikes feel right unless you *add* 10-20mm of fork travel over stock.

That looks really nice.  Don't be surprised when people stop you on the trail and ask if Iron Horse is back in the high end game.

hello,

I have an another question about RockShox Rear Shock Mounting Hardware. Which screw are you used to fix it near BB?
original deliver with frame or a new one?
thanks for your help  ;)

It is finish

Nicely done, yep with this rig I fine that either you need  4 pot brakes or bigger rotors - 203mm at least. So my current solution is 180mm front rotor and 203mm rear rotor.

I use SHIMANO SLX 4 pot brakes with 203mm for front and rear. It works really good
