I love this! I agree with others that the RS-1 looks best. Call me strange, but I don't think the Bonty fork suits it at all :(

I agree with you, but 24pouces and Newsboy prefer Bontrager.
You should know that this is Keith who made the crown and arch on the RS-1

but with a different rake for the RS1...
More than a choice between RS1 or Bonty, I really prefer a non suspension fork on such a frame.
I remember what a Merlin racer said in a magazine : I don't want a suspension fork on my bike, because they are heavier than the frame
:mrgreen:
 
Re:

All three forks look great. If I had to choose, it would be the RS-1. If ever there was a frame for that fork, this one is it.
Did anyone get any history on this frame?
 
Re:

With all pink parts...







Stem change for Salsa full titanium bolts and stickers match with saddle. :cool:

Great, with all pink parts !
I prefer the built with RS1, this work great when I test it. There's too much early Merlin with black non suspension fork...
