Orange prestige 2009 - new forks on! 06/12/12

this is my latest ride and a damn fine ride it is too. great on the trail with the big chunky 2.35 tyres. going to swap the fork out for a rigid and get some thomson kit on there

Why would you put a rigid fork on there?

Why would you put a rigid fork on there?

Cos I don't like suspension, my cannondale spent its entire life in lockout mode aswell

 

[sam264]

Any particular reason? I just find it strange that you wouldn't like suspension.

great frames, i really wanted one of these when i was selling them but i already had the 07 clockwork special edition and couldn't justify another bike.

ride nice, look cool, win win.

i like the idea of the rigid fork though, are you gonna get the Orange fork or Pace? or something else?

Agree the f9 would be a paint match as well??

Although would it not be better to think about a poplok or saving your rigid fork money and selling the toras and get somthing a bit lighter with a poplok. You then have a instant rigid fork, save a bit of weight but still the option of bounce if you needed it.

How many of these did they do was also 200 as with the 07 clockworks?

 

[Faghetaboutit]

No real reason just find sus forks overkill for the kind of riding I do.
Have been thinking about a pace or maybe a nice steel fork

 

[Faghetaboutit]

Yes I think there were 200 made, this one is number 165

I have decided on some 440mm a-c pace rc31 forks, can't wait to get them on, I love fully rigid bikes :twisted:

Looks sweet! Pace RC31 forks on a P7 or Prestige are an awesome combination imo.

got my new pace forks and thomson stem on! much better :twisted:
