That's only because you haven't ridden one. EVERYone who rides my bike for the first time goes "ohhhhhh niiiiice...." about the fork. When they go back their own they have one of those Eureka! moments. Especially when they get on the brakes and notice how much of a wet noodle their fork is.
They're as stiff as a dual-crown downhill fork, and as light as a Rockshox SID. Part 1 of the video below is about the Scalpel, Part 2 focusses on the Lefty:
I do get lots of "Maaaate! What's happened to your FORK!?" which now gets a " Dude, you're right! Did you see where it went?"

Deposit went down on this one today, considering some new wheels for the roadie as well and some new cranks, not getting enough power out of my cranks and Rob tells me I need a bigger ring... okie dokely... and a new set up to a more agressive position.... he says I should be riding at consistantly 40km/h... he seems to think I can do it... strange man, its taken a while for me to get used to Rob, but I think he's alright!

YUM!!! Me likey.
Although I'm too short and my frames are too small to pull off the deep dish look. They make my bike look even more dwarf than it already is. I borrowed a pair of 404s and it just looked out of proportion.

The Factor 001, dubbed the "world's most advanced bicycle" is now being made available to the general public. Priced at US$36,000 and upwards, you can order one of these from London department store Harrods.
Unable to sell, maybe the design department should have made it PINK.

Missy, I revealed my new love in a dimly lit room. Her curves highlighted by shadow, her tones caressed by the light. And you ask do I love her truly? Such slings and arrows test my resolve to love at all.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" I see many bikes I don't like... here. As for "love", I would have a Factor 001 if they gave it to me, it may be a nice ride. You'd probably take one too, if they "Pinked" it! The point is now matter how it's presented, it's just not selling, work that out. "Don't be a hater" Cheers, BrentonO

Just FYI... this thread is about bike LOVE... flammer and brentono, do you LOVE these bikes?
Don't turn it into a hate thread, lets keep it as p0rn
Harrods! isnt that enough 'wank' factor? anyway wont be harrods soon
Ummmm Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo please... there's a much higher class than Harrods, Harrods used to be top stuff, its just a department store now
