The Bomber forks look great, just having a problem with the headset, the forks wobble around inside the steerer tube with buckets of play and I can't seem to get it to work at all. The bearings seem to be a few mm wider at their narrowest point than the diameter of the forks, which makes no sense, ah well.

Looks like you did not install the headset properly - can't see the preload cup in the pic.

These look so cool with dh forks. I would love to get one for trail riding. Throw it in the hatch of my car and go. I'm still not convinced the frame would hold up but it would be fun seeing how long it would last.

Since I can't find one of these locally how much $$$ are you looking for to get rid of it (pm me!)?

But yeah, the headset doesn't look like it has a cap so I assume it doesn't have the wedge thing that tightens everything up either (like all my technical terms?).

Anyway, nice build so far. If you decide to sell let me know.
