It's at least a five year old bike, that sold for under $700 then, and somebody suggests buying a $500 fork for it that is fairly long travel and, depending on how old the bike is, will slacken the head angle by at least one and possibly three degrees. And you agree? What're you smoking? -Andrew |

And you agree? What're you smoking? I have to ask what drugs you're on because they're obviously causing you to read quite a bit into the statement of mine you quoted above as well as causing you to miss the caveats I gave in another post where I specifically cautioned against using a long-travel fork on such a bike. |
