My Sultan got a bit of a facelift and a little more grrr this week with a mix of new, used and borrowed from other bike parts. After much pestering, Turner sold me a 2011 front end for my 2009 frame so my 140mm Bombers finally found a home 😀

New front allows use of taper forks and is a dgree slacker.

I would presume so that he can use a tapered steerer fork.

I'd be interested to hear what you think of that fork.
I'm considering it for something i have in mind. 🙂

That's exactly what I was thinking. 8)

Getting a bit fed up of waiting for the Rev for my Yelli.

Where'd you get it from?

It's a great fork and i paid full price. For $349 it's an absolute bargain.
