Hi all,

So, in recent years Ive had a swift with both sets of forks at times.
I'm now going back to a Swift but need a fork.
Both similar prices - exotic £120 ish, Singular £100 ish

Singular :
Matches lovely with the frame.
Not too harsh
Bent two pairs in the past before going exotic.

Exotic :
Not so much rake
Nice and light
Never destroyed 1 pair, let alone 2.
Great resale value
Wrong colour.

So, having my thoughts in mind, which would you go for and why ?
Thanks for any advice.

Did the same as you with my Swift before I sold it and went back to the original forks. Found them less harsh, better balance for bike overall and never bent a pair!

Ironically now got a P29er with the Exotic forks which are good but looking (for about 2 years) for Niner ones with a straight steerer and sensible length.
