You listed straight blade forks and then said there is no conclusion made by roadies who are sensitive so I'm not sure what you are arguing here.No one is curving Colnago precisa or yo eddy or steve potts P2 forks yet. Neither accutrax. It´s been debated to exhaustion to no conclusion by roadies who are very sensitive to how their forks behave.
Why were those forks built straight rather than curved?
The geo chart doesn't specify different BB height for sus / non suspension so that isn't really going to help me.The only way to know for sure if frame is corrected or not for susp is to measure BB drop then compare to the geo diagram; no builder messed w/bb drop.
ground to center BB is 11.75" on this bike with this Igleheart fork, for whatever that is worth.
This bike was tuned for front susp: it´s geometry throws a lot weight up on arms and front wheel
Was it? We don't even know if it is a suspension corrected frame or not. The comp fork that came with this frame(from the original to the previous owner) and was on offer the same year as this frame was made had an AC of 395-400mm.
Cheers! had a great ride today minus the snake and the endo. Can't wait to see progress on your build.Ryne, this looks fantastic! Bravo, nice build! Perfect time to get that bike outside in this gorgeous spring weather.
