collecting because other people think its cool
the groovy forks could have be crafted by the messiah himself with one of a kind unobtanium tubing held together with mrTs grr and the hopes and dreams of everybody who ever lived but they still look ghey
lol Glad someone sees my point of view
lol@ the Potts comment too...that serious blasphemy to the refined collectors
you also find the groovy fork..... "ghey"? ooohh... that's so mature. 12 yr olds.
Sorry but just wouldn't bust my balls to own a pair of forks like that just because they are made by Groovy.
I do love this site but there's a hell of a lot of snobbery when it comes to brands and parts....same BITD same now I suppose. MTB has a habit of being a sport that attracts people with a lots of money and there's when the problem often lies.
Anyway, better get back on track. Kaiser's bike so obviusly he can put any fork on there that he likes lol Good to see the finished bike.

it's because it works. different, better than other forks. i have tried different rigid forks and i talk from experience.
the same goes for every bike i quoted. from ibis to fat city. i know it because i have ridden these bikes. i have ridden cheaper bikes as well.
saying that an excellent fork is "ghey" having not ridden it is quite ..well... nevermind. to each his own.
The biggest issue should be that none of you have ridden them including me thus far so to spend so many posts discussing them is pointless(but entertaining).Neil G":1rp3ehqr said:purplewicked":1rp3ehqr said:Neil G":1rp3ehqr said:purplewicked":1rp3ehqr said:Neil G":1rp3ehqr said:perry":1rp3ehqr said:im with you 100% neil

I never said it was ghey, I said it was fugly lol
I'm just talking about the brand snobbery on here....is that Groovy fork really that much better than a TB Project two or a Pace?....I somehow don't think so...Why is it 'better'?
As you say though each to their own. I can sort of get the Fat Chance thing as well but TBH I never was that interested in them BITD either....I'd probably rather own a Clockwork or Pace or, hate to say it Klein but that's just personal preference.

i never tried a groovy but a vicious cycles is a much better fork than the run of the mill unicrowns. it tracks better, absorbs bumps better. it's in another class.
the same can be said of the big one inch, bontrager comp or a Potts type 2.
but the most important thing is how it looks right? and that sure ain't ghey.
