PLIW Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Just dug this old frame from the garage. It’s been so long I forget what the various build options have been and what looked plus worked best. What does everyone recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Short, but also a small offset, good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a stock pair of the originals. Would really like a set of Fattys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Fattys are iconic and all that, but in hindsight, 20 years on they have a big offset, which is not what you want when you're trying to make a trials bike ride well, the offset didn't seem entirely consistent, I had one white pair that seemed really straight, but maybe they were actually bent backwards? Who knows, but just look at pics of Pashleys from that era as a guide, as long as you don't try and give it a Hex front end you'll be be ok.

A few of the guys I use to ride with had a set of Saracen Chrome forks that looked like the USE ones. I can’t find anything like that as well sadly. Even a stock pair of Pashley forks would do but likes hens teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
