will keep an eye out for switchblades!…will be interesting to know how ride compares, currently running RC31s (ti) on mine

I was just starting to like it with the Judy's. A Bonty fork will certainly look the part though

They so rarely come up I couldn't afford to leave them. It will probably stay on the Judy's most of the time

Ooh... that Bonty fork! Lush bike too... great addition

 

[slackboy]

Ooohh!
They've arrived and are in very nice condition too

 

[raidan73]

Very nice

Been meaning too add this link for a while. There is a quote in there that sums up bontragers for me:

Can a bike have a “don’t give a f*ck attitude?” Is that even possible? This being a non-sentient mass of chromoly and all, the obvious answer is “Of course not, you git”.

But I tell you, squinting and looking back through the window of time, that bike—a Bontrager Race Lite—sure seemed to be raising a rusty finger at the rest of the world.

Finally got around to putting the switchblades on. Looks pretty good, but I think the Judy's are better.
