thats cool, but what going on with the forks, the angle looks proper weird to me.

apart from either my eyes or those forks, its the choice so far this month though

Maybe just the angle of the photo. The frame is designed for a M1 and that fork is just the right amount of suspension adjusted to work.

The forks looks good to me, its just the style/angle of the crown to head tube interface, had the same on a Saracen that passed through my possession last year.

Re:

My Bad, ive just read the thread, and it seems you werent sure yourself,

Be nice to see it with the Action Tech fork, or even a Manitou, looking at even the Manitou on your thread pictures, its looks spot on, not sure where you got these from....?

Apart from the forks, its perfect.
