Re:
That is interesting but why? The uniqueness is all that matters. Transition to more modern is always interesting and sometimes awkward . I also think removing material that was intended to be there can sometimes be dangerous. Gators are already minimal. Slave to fashion !

Re: brodie
cool no syncros. paul would be happy.
the 1 1/8" threadless gatorblades are fairly rare. only a couple on here.
when I got mine and asked paul the same question he said....we only made a handful.
they went threadless just as front suspension was being put on everything. so
everyone had to have suspension.
real shame about threading that one. 30 lashes with a wet noodle.
yes herald can still replicate the original imron colours.kellyjk":26992672 said:

Re: brodie
sorry to chime in here...
Out of the four gators I have found one of them is 1-1/8 threadless... so they are around...
But don't use my luck as an example... three of the four are 1" :shock:
FYI, I will be needing threads cut in my 1-1/8 but would happily trade it for one with threads in it that's a tad longer... mine will work threaded on a 130mm head tube but all the 19.5" brodies seem to have 140mm head tubes...

I have to tell you, the idea of threading a threadless steerer seems little dangerous to me. The wall thickness of the threadless steerer is really quite thin compared to my 1 1/8 threaded steerer forks. Looking at them side by side to me it looks like inside the thread pitch is the same thickness as the threadless steerer. So when you remove more material there can't be much left. :idea:
I wouldn't thread it. No point. Our local bike nerd magnet is threading a mag21 steerer for me and he said it was not an issue. I'm inclined to trust his judgment.
I went threaded for the older look. Your bike will look awesome threadless. The cable routing and what not on the 94+ bikes sorta suits it. Nab a nice raceface stem and some turbines. Perfecto.
