HA!
I have been trying to come to terms with them for the lat week.. HATED them when I first saw them, they have been slowly growing on me but oh sooo slowly. I still don't love them, just don't hate them.
Remember when you were little and a teacher had you and the kid who's teeth you were just trying to knock out by the scruff of the neck explaining that if you didn't shake hands and make friends that instant parents would be called. It's that handshake that the Struts and I are having right now.
Low end aside for the mo.. Looks wise I like the lowers, I don't mind the bridge it's chunky in a kind of cool retro way, I think it's the crown that unsettles me which is odd because that very same style of crown on the rigid Tange forks look great.
I did pick up some cheap Tektro cantis rom the bay that suit the forks well.. I'll get some photos up later and see If I can get you from "boggin" to simply "Quite ugly"
Plan B is some rigid Struts at this point.
