what fork are you using now?

They're both ridiculously heavy, the Bontrager is pretty light for a 28c tyres (as well as the Gatorskin).

it's possible to get a really light 32c at 280g, but that have no puncture protection.

il probably go with something like a gatorskin, i trust gatorskins.

I haven't found the original fork flex but then again I just ride it. Not chuck it down stairs n what not!

i won't be doing anything like that either apart from the odd curb here and there.

You'll be in for a pleasant surprised after putting in some lightweight 28c or even 32c tyres on.

what do you recommend? i was thinking marathon plus or vittoria randonneur but i know both of those are heavy as fuck, especially the marathons.

it does indeed. bit spendy though and if i'm going to spend then i'd much rather do it on the OG fork.

i'm used to riding ishiwata tubing around which is pretty damn stiff but i will also be using bigger tyres. quite excited, never ridden on anything bigger than 23c before!

the clusterfork is definitely an option and i reckon i'l purchase it along with the frame, i just much prefer the original fork.

still trying to track down the fork, i don't actually have the frame yet but i reckon it will be in my possession soon. the frame is nothing without the original fork though.

can't wait to own one, hopefully it all works out.

Is it for the unicycle?

have a guess

yeah someone did tell me that and they were right, emailed them months ago with no reply.

not for the bridgestone doooooood.

hey guys,
been searching for the original gangsta track fork for a while now, i've emailed tfg and brooklyn to no avail at all. anyone got one for sale?
cheers,

You assume wrong, I'm afraid, I've met him numerous times both on and off the polo court... nice young lad who I couldnt picture getting violent over someone's choice of attire, I would have thought.

You'll have to forgive me, I dont pay attention to the latest fashions. Why so much hatred against bobble hats?

it was a joke. a christmas joke.

think i might go. forum group outing?

it will also fuck up the geometry and make it handle like shit. why would you want to put a 700c up front?

yep

i come from the same background as you dude and it looks like we're in the same boat. my 100m PB is dead on 11 so im a fair bit slower than you but yeah, sprinting is my thing. also looking to get onto the track this summer and right now im starting to build up a training regime to try and push up my endurance. hopefully see you next season.

renowned pirate?

drug smuggling over the river?

i reckon it needs a 650.

either way i love it. what year is that carbon record from? always loved it.

its a re. its also amazing.

a couple of weeks back i thought that my blackburn mars 4.0 was fucked and i wasn't surprised as i've dropped it numerous times, once on a super quick descent, its been through two winters now as well. turns out all it needed was slightly deconstructing, giving a good clean and some fresh batteries. buy this light. hope vision one is as awesome as ever.

@nuknow, jake the snake is just young. younger than me!

i shall do, cheers mannn.
