Luke Rainbird Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Well, like a dog returning to the scene of the poop, I'm back on a proper bike again, and loving it (hence the recent selling of stuff!)Dob forks freshly fitted and feel great from first impressions, although I've yet to have a full on ride on itThe spec is pretty different from when I posted up the old one, main differences being rims (Hog front, drilled the rear), forks, and gearingRides beautifully, though a stint on the Zenith certainly helped Comments welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 That looks ace Luke, Dob forks looking slick.Hah, I resorted to a grinder for fitting duties, as I couldn't find a hacksaw in the garage Apologies for slightly dodgy pictures - parents' new camera arrived this morning, and I haven't had a chance to play with settings yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 It certainly was!I sold mine back to Matt Gibson (who I originally bought it from) then decided that was a silly move, so bought Dan's off him recently.Glad you like it, Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Cheers for the comments Just got in from a ride - forks are lovely - not really any different in feel to my Zoo! setup in terms of length/rake from what I can feel, but very noticeably lighter, which is excellent!
