fruitbat Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 am i crazy or the fork is bent??nice bike:)No, thats what I thought when I saw the pictures. The forks have no sweep (if thats the right word) on them at all and are pretty much straight from the steerer down to the fork legs. Nice short wheelbase.Frooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Whack some silver echo urbans on that or somink and that would be luuuuuush, rest of it looks reet nice billxEdit - and a real seat, small one but not that plastic thing Edited July 20, 2009 by Milford Cubicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 The forks use the dropout to add the rake, as opposed to having a legs themselves welded at an angle to the crown Bike looks good, though the bars look too flat for such a beast!

aener Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Christ.I'm not a high BB enthusiast - but that has quite a considerable drop I thought they were like... -5/0 Nice though. Considering going old-skool. Look way more fun. Edited July 20, 2009 by aener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I really like the look of those forks! Anyone know if you can get anything similar but perhaps a bit (lot) lighter.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Unfortunately they're generally street/dirt forks, so a little weighty for trials. Usually sus corrected too Few here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Damn, they're all way too heavy. Cheers for the link anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitbat Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Damn, they're all way too heavy. Cheers for the link anyhow.The actual forks used are the 'Handsome Dog Super Strongs' from All Terrain Cycles, not sure they have any more left though but worth keeping your eyes our, i'll try find weight of them for you.Frooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
