I'm jealous. Can't ever seem to find one of these bikes locally. I've got a bht on the way and want to use it for a similar project, but might end up in a go-kart first. The bike looks great. Enjoy it!

Aren't those absolute madness? Another question is, if they were bought used, is there a good source and what should we pay? Those are for a 20" wheel?

We might have to settle for something a bit, er, cheaper. . . .

hahaha.. I didn't mean "how do you find them?" I meant what do you think of them? for the price even if they're strong and functional it's worth it. don't need high/low speed compression and infinitesimal adjustments

Thanks again
Andy

The Zoom double crown fork works well, and looks great.. Although, my 160mm bomber 66 works better (single crown).

The fork is for 26" or 650b. But works with 20" no problem.
