Taking another look I noticed a difference in the front brake calipers between this bike (the one hopit almost made off with) and the one in the...
^ Sweet! Like the design of the rear tire hugger. Hadn't really focused on this before.
Thanks for the post TF3. All very good points. I'll look into the axle when I receive the forks but well noted on the threaded design. To be...
