Dekerf Team SL build and Q’s

[donk]

Agree, the price was a bit much, but it matches so well.

Looking at other forks that I liked the cost of it was not too crazy - an igleheart is $900 CAD, a waltworks is $700 a potts type 2 fork is $1300 plus duty so not too far off.

I could have looked harder for a bontrager or a syncros but had not luck here for either.

My thoughts now are to try to get a triple butted P2 and have it painted either gloss black or maybe to the same as the frame.

Anyone have any pics if anything similar ?

Looks exactly the same fork you get standard on a Sunn Bmix to me.

Lots of examples and information here, the majority seem to be wearing some type of shocks, but there are a few rigid builds to be found:

There was a 29er disc brake dekerf tuning fork on facebook recently, very well priced, would look killer on this project.

Spotted that also … was in the fabulous metallic ‘forest green’ - my fave DeKerf colour - seller was located in Canada. Did not appreciate that the new forks sell for 4 figures…would love to try riding one eventually.
