Does anyone know if the Vicious forks are still available, would really like a diamond frame with the Vicious Forks rather than the unicrown with the curved blade?

Failing that the level of temptation for a Karate Monkey with a Krampus fork and a H Bar is really tempting me.

I've ridden a Jones Ti space frame briefly and without any adjustment is felt nice.

What say the NTW massive?

Whatever I buy will be steel!

Not sure I understand what you mean. My halfauds £79 special rides really well and it's steel.

I think if you liked the way the SF rode then go with the steel diamond with unicrown fork may not look purrdy but the man sure can design a good ride

The only problem with the unicrown and diamond is I can see myself kicking myself very quickly for not getting a spaceframe with truss...

I've ridden the Jones diamond with a unicrown and a truss - definitely go with the truss (and be prepared to put up with lot sof jokes about 'shopping', 'baskets' etc 😀 ).

A steel Jones isn't a poor man's ti at all.. the steel bike matches it on a good day - just different pros and cons, diferent ride and great vfm. There's a huge price gap but not such a big grin-factor gap.

The simple look of the diamond/unicrown appeals, as good as the truss is.

I reckon diamond + truss is the best combo. You get the cool fork with a lighter steel frame, and good vfm.

Monkey with a krampus fork. I think you will find the Knard set up will fit in the monkey fork.

Chances of a red diamond frame and truss fork?

If I could get a Knard in Monkey fork then that could be tempting way less outlay...
