Wow, their website is just awful. Not too much information.

They look like they're buying from the same outfit that is making a lot of the 29er CF forks.

Anyone have information on MSRP?

I bought one of the track crank sets for pretty darn cheap and it seems to be alright. Is all their stuff that reasonably priced? I'd be interested in more of their goodies.

I also see Niner may have something coming out soon.

You should be able to get the fork at your local LBS (like Erik's). If you want to test ride one send me a PM or give a call at the Dinkytown location and I'll try to set it up for you. Very well made and durable from what I have heard about them.

We have one at Behind Bars. It will shortly be going on an Origin8 29 frame that we are building for the floor so you can test ride both. If I can get caught up on repairs again before the weekend I will get it built and anyone is more than welcome to come test it out.
I will post here when it is ready for a ride.
I cannot remember the price off hand, but it is decent compared to other forks.

Huh? Are you using D&D lingo on a MTB forum?

Chuck - do you have a 465mm model in stock? The others are waaaayyy too short unless you have a frame specifically designed for low A-C.

I will later.

I must say, right now i am working on putting a King HS in an 80's full chrome Hutch XL24.
There is a big puddle of drool forming on the floor below me.
