Went out for a spin on the woods - slippy muddy roots are... certainly engaging... on a rigid fork! A very different experience to riding the same trail on a hardtail.
Thinking of swapping the stem and spacers for silver ones. I lent some silver rimmed wheels to a friend a while ago so might see if he's willing to swap them out too. While I don't mind the way it looks at the moment, when I look back at old photos I reckon it looked betterer with more silver kit hung on it.
I'm also considering getting the fork powder coated to match the original one (slightly orangey metallic red). The only thing holding me back is that I'm not that keen on the aesthetics of a straight blade fork (and it's a bit of a naff hi-ten one). But so far I haven't been able to find a suitable curved disc fork online.
