you don't like that one? I had a Funn Rippa, and thought it looked like crap. This ones light, and is completely rounded and bolt-free at the back, so my knees are happier!
JoshSt: it is a 20mm fork, and I built those wheels because they are the best combo of weight to strength I can find. I've jumped on them for the last 9 months, and they're perfect. You just need to know how to build wheels right!
joshst: how did you mix up weight and fashion? the wheels are light, which to some people(inc. me) means they are high performance to a certain extent, im not going to go run some xc race wheels but these seem to be holding up fine for him so why not save the weight? just my 2cents.
Dude my Amp is Sub 24 pounds and i run a brake,it's hardly over 22 pounds brakeless.And my Pincher is just a build to flip,i will be selling it to some lucky kid before Christmas for cheep.I could stick a Fox 831 on it but who could afford it then.Your bike is still really nice i just don't think 26.5 pounds is light when u don't even run a brake and have a xc fork,but to each his own...right?I mean what do i know i've only been building bikes for 12 years and specialize in street/dj bikes.
whooppee for you. I never said 26.5 was particularly light, however people ask for the weights of my builds so I post them. I've been professionally building street/park/dj bikes for 5 years now. If I wanted advise on building up a minuteman with Z1's, I'd ask you. Otherwise... no advise needed, thanks.
But the wheelset is so shitty... its a formula/mx33. I will list the actual wheelset I run (when I go 26")

thanks bro! Glad for your input... I respect your opinion in particular since you apparently trust society forks and can't make an alu. frame build lighter than some of my steel ones.
Sorry about the quote fail.
