Nice Brodie. But someone else added a curved gatorblade to his collection last night.

Sir..... you have kahunas the size of cataloupes! :shock:

Those gatorblades come around once a year and when they do they command a hefty price.

Again...I wouldnt have the nerve to paint a pair.


BUt with that said I have admired yours many times.

It looks like a project 2 may be in my future :roll:

i'll be painting my Sovereign frame/fork eventually as well ;)

was planning on using a Syncros fork till I managed to secure a Gator. :D
 
OK...my straight legged fork I purchased will be arriving tomorrow.

I was really thinking about spraying it a color to match the stem.

Would REALLY like to hear peoples opinions. I cannot match the splatter...
So choices are fairly limited.
Black or Gold. Or are there any other color choice that I should consider with the green & gold splatter.
Thoughts?

hi
post a picture of the fork when it arrives.
are you painting it yourself?
i'd give a gold stem and fork a try.
see if you like it. if not, then spray it black.
could also try and find a green to match.

Nice :cool: Looks like a very good colour match you've got with the forks and stem
 
looks good. loose fit the fork and stem together on the frame.
see if it does it for you. will get a better idea than random
parts on the floor. :)

Color is an exact match!
Mocking it up makes me much more comfortable with the gold.

Think I am going to go ahead and commit & have them clear coat the fork and stem & have the steerer shortened and addtl threads added.

The parts are going to be all black (Provided I can find some black XT BR-M734 :? ) Mostly XT with Black Cooks cranks.
