Excellent, thanks for the help!

[shaper]

I am busy building my first single speed using an old MTB I had in the garage.

Currently I am looking for some custom decals, preferably online or in the Gauteng area. Sandton/Centurion.

Anyone you could recommend?

Speak to Tyrone https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/83039-custom-vintage-decals/

 

Will be able to do anything you want

Guys 

Looking for a straight steerer for a 650 Ritchey build for my wife bike

Must be light as we got the best components for the other parts

What do you guys recon would work well?

[Swany05]

Looks like everyone is after a fork

 

Im on the hunt for a rigid 26" straight steerer with disk mounts 

 

At this point in time im not bothered what the material is, just want to finish this build

 

Cheers

Not bad pricing, shipping is more than the fork it self 

 

I can get surly at a better price but only in the new year as they dont ship over the holiday season

What price are you getting the Surly for? If cheaper than $44, is there more than one available?

[Monark]

from my experience the steel forks are just too stiff/harsh. put a nice plush carbon fork on the front... it will change your life is you are running rigid.

 

Was the red Salsa el mariachi in this thread sold?

I agree totally but im looking at price point mostly 

 

at this point beggars canbt be choosers and anything i can get my hands on will have to do

Very much depends on what steel is used and how the fork is designed. There is very little plush about my Niner carbon fork, but that's what I like about it - feedback is direct. My Niner Reynolds steel fork on the other hand is really springy and waaay more spongy than my carbon fork. I've ridden other carbon forks that are similar, and that was their intended purpose. Point is, I don't think you can classify a rigid fork on the material used alone...

Recently converted from my rigid to this 140mm monster. Just when I thought that I can not enjoy myself more on this bike!

Hence my caveat "from my experience"
