Speaking of comebacks, the new Onza steel hardtails are nice:

I must be old (fashioned) but I just think hardtails with anything over 100mm forks look crap. Reason I didn't put my name down.

650b Rosko. Proof a modern big wheel, rigid bike with most modern day accommodations can look good, ride well.

Doesn't look like a tapered/44 head tube though, which restricts your options to use a Modern fork. I don't necessarily think that it needs it, as if you're happy running rigid for good then there is no point, just sayin'.

Yep, 1 1/8th on a new bike is a fail.

That is a nice looking bike. Shame the marketing men are forcing the agenda towards fugly tapered head tubes.

44mm would have solved it. I have a Ritchey WCS rigid fork on my steel frame with 44/44mm headtube. Since the diameter of the top of the carbon crown matches the HT diameter, it looks neat, even with a non-taper 1 1/8 !

the same fork looks stupid on their own non-44mm-HT frames though
