so in and so stoked. email sent!
I’m looking at the consumer pricing there; the Synergies are $69, Archetypes (black; Universal doesn’t list the hard ano version this week) are $64, and Dyads are $61. Shopbro pricing is, no doubt, fairly radically different.
Why the fuck doesn’t someone make this fork?[/quote]
One example exists, and a whole bunch of eurobros are way into it: TRIGON FULL CARBON RIGID MTB XC Disc FORK 26" 480g for sale | eBay
Ritchey used to sell forks out of the same mold for $500
It’s really a susp-corrected 26" fork though, so ~415mm a-c
It’s extremely unlikely that another model like that will appear, because the EU failure testing spec has gotten more demanding. You kinda need a tapered steerer to pass the test without the production costs being too high.[/quote]
Which eurobros? More details?[/quote]
lots of threads on weightweenies going back years, nobody’s had a problem, and plenty of em appear to get real XC race use
if I was building a steel disc bike for normal trail, it’d be near the top of my list. Pretty much have to build the frame around it though, which may defeat the point of a straight steerer for you.[/quote]
Found the threads, thanks. At 415mm, I’m not sure it’ll work for me.
Not sure I understand. Why not?
Tarck colorway…
So to keep things cheaper for now I am doing ALL frames in black. However Tarck version will have color decals and fork.
So… I have narrowed down the fork/decal color to magenta or high vis yellow. Sparkles are probable (in the black as well) but not 100% yet.
For those of you who have emailed me and are seriously interested which color do you want to see more?
DGAF.
Between those two, DGAF.
That said, can I pay extra for the whole bike to be a certain color? Anyone else with me on that?
Anything high vis. Sparkles are a plus but color must be blinding.
Is it safe to say that this would ride very much like a colossal. gun shy after not loving last frame I bought without riding … I am in the interested zone, but have not emailed yet … would want all black. Flat black is best.
A durable finish far more important. What a durable paint? Imron?
sold on both magenta and high-vis yellow.
by color decals, do you mean like tarck rainbow, or just matching whatever the fork color ends up being?
flat black or gloss black
i will paint splatter at my leisure if i end up buying it
flat black will make gloss splatter more appealing
Gloss black is easy to clean and is black. And cheap to get done in a nice, strong coat. Let’s be reasonable here.
fuck being reasonable, this is tarck
Fuck not being able to use bike lust. Flat finishes look cool at first, but it’s an asspain to keep them looking clean.
i’m against matte too
Edit: goddammit.
I want eye-bleeding Magenta or Yellow and I’m willing to get the frame raw (and the decals dropped in the box) and do it myself if necessary.
Yeah no matte, gloss black
Magenta decals leads to 3DV ano
High Vis decals leads to ano rainbow
I am into both of these things.
Also, should I expect an email back or not yet?
Will be taking care of emails soon… … buttslammed at the shop and leaving for 3 days so extra crazy
