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.JohnJoyner wrote:Sorry, but I reckon that fork only on one side is ugly... It has fallen off the ugly tree & hit every branch on the way down...
But of course that is my opinion & each to their own...
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?"

That was really funny. Mr Moo currently rides a Look bike. My next bike will be a Time.
And yes...we are dinks in the true sense as I believe you can't really claim dogs as children!!

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!Missy24 wrote:But I also LOVE this
He also says I should get new wheels... 606's?

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.

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.

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,

How can anyone say that the teal, as represented here, is blue? It's green! If it's bluey-green, it's still a variation on green.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A woman with an ugly husband said that.
