1: no its not 2: this is the cheaper "r" and non-fit model. thats why it lacks kashima coating on the stanchions 3: read the description. its expensive anyway.
Trust me i know how much it costs, but Im sure the 16 year old in Cali knows more than I do, thats just how these forums work. Unless you know what kind of work goes into speccing a bike your opinion is just that, an opinion.
And congrats on counting to 3, you've had a big day.
Im sure you do, I'll leave it at that. I'm not about to get in an internet argument with you sport. Spend less time on here and go mow some lawns to buy that ride.
and me2menow It works a lot differently than just dropping the dopest shit on a bike. The fit fork would push this spec well over 8000. dont forget that biking is a business.
The end result would cost the consumer to shell out a rediculus amount of money, smart one. for any bike with a spec like that. ignorance is bliss i guess.
By the time the bike gets to the shop the $50 turns into hundreds just like Ninjaty said based on the margin scale that both the bike company and the bike shop need to preserve.
Dealer cost will have to change to absorb the $50 which snowballs into retail, it's up to the shop to decide how much margin to make on the bike from that point. In the end the consumer will pay more than $50 for the upgrade.
This fork is lighter than the fit with Talas and will require less maintenance and be more reliable in the back country.
