Why would it be twitchy? These came with 415mm forks, did they not, and the forks on there at the moment appear to be pretty long travel. I don't think you'ld want them any longer.Anthony":19haklf9 said:Nice-looking bike there Martin. It's actually a 98 frame, not 99, so a slightly higher quality as it has Reynolds stays as opposed to the generic stays on the 99 frame.
Design-wise, I would expect it to have super-fast or twitchy handling, with the Indy and such a short stem. I would suggest a red 99 SID XC as a better alternative - a better fork and usefully longer to bring the handling back within normal bounds. Unless your wife likes super-twitchy handling of course!
The saddle is pretty layed back though, so fitting a slightly longer stem and sliding the saddle forward should help the balance somewhat.
The last of the proper Explosifs; Nice!
