Show me your Switchblades

[NeilM]

I'm just about to set up a pair of Tange Switchblades, and recalling comments made here in the past, I want to get the legs correctly positioned in the crown.

Post any photo's you have please, to avoid me making a pigs ear of the job.

Here's some pics if they're any use -

Here's my 1989 Merlin... I switched them forks for a Manitou 1 but I like this better so it's gonna be switched back to the SwitchBlades again

Here's a front shot where you can see how the legs are positioned more clearly (it's easy on mine since they're a bit faded, so I can see where the legs originally were when I take them out of the crown):

Hope it helps,

PERFECT.

Thank you guys, that's just what I needed.

Ordinarily, I would have measured A to C, but I'm doing something a little... different, so that option is not open to me.

Once again, thanks.

Nice, and very similar to how I envisage my build will look, only mine will have 700c wheels.

Ahhh, interesting.

The top caps on mine look like the pair on the right, I will have the check the crown in the morning.

Thanks.

The right one has more oversized blades and the crown is anodized. There is also a slight difference in the way the blades end.

The left one mentions 'Prestige' on the blades.
