Snapped up these Pacenti crowned (Rawland-esque)29er forks a few months back with the idea of using them on another 29er build, but that isnt going to happen now. They are bonny looking plate/bi-plane crowned curve bladed with disc mounts.
I now dont know what to do with them, I trial fitted them to my swift and whilst they are lovely things I am not sure they suit the frame. The a2c is near as damn it (-5mm) and the trail looks identical, so shouldnt stuff up the handling.
Maybe its because they arent sprayed up in the same blue as the swift or maybe the original forks just suit it better.
