Hi, ive recently pulled a GIANT ATX 2015 27.5 frame out of a skip. (With permission) its in a pretty poor state and missing pretty much everything. So I've been watch loads of YouTube videos like Old Shovel, monkey shred and Dream Builds and fancy having a go myself. Ive never built a bike...

Re: Re: I did see the RC31 and others like them, but to be honest I dont like the shape. I'm after a more smooth looking fork that looks something like the originals. Disks brake fitment im not too worried about, if I have to go discs then so be it. I do really appreciate your advice...

Re: Could anyone say whether these would be suitable, not worried about the disk brakes. The bike isn't going to be taken off road much, just my local tracks. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264992052438

Re: Re: Excellent, thank you. This is a great starting point for me. Ive found some V brake carbon forks but they're for a 700c wheel, ill take some measurements and see if they're close to what I have/need

Superb, thank you. I've not been on a proper forum for years, it seemed Facebook killed the ones I was on so this is quite refreshing.

Re: Ah ok, thank you, like I say I'm really in the dark regarding things like this.

Good evening Ladies and Gents, my first post so be gentle! I'm new to the retro bike scene but was reminiscing about my favourite bike in my late tens. Back in the mid 90's I had a Trek 930 in green and purple fade. I loved that bike but alas as with most things, you don't see the value once...
