i'm actually 190, but i figure with clothes and a helmet i'm a little more. guess i'll just have to loose the clothes!
I had emulators and .75 springs at first. This setup allowed me to bottom out the forks often and hard. Even with the firm emulator spring cranked in.

Now I have a custom setup from Ed Sorbo at Lindemann Engineering and it rarely bottoms. When it does it is not harsh and only when hitting large sharp edged bumps at high speeds. I love this setup and could not expect more from a damper rod fork.

Good luck with your build. Plenty of us have experience so ask if you have issues. As for the frame problem, I don't think that piece should be angled.
