Hi all, I usually post to the cyclocross forum, but now I have a commuter question. I have a late eighties Peugot Triathlon that I'm commuting on. It has all top of the line components (for the late eighties :rolleyes: )
My question is this... what kind of choices do I have in the fork department? I've got her set up almost perfectly, but the fork stinks. My ride includes very steep, poorly paved uphills, 40mph+ downhills, and about 50/50 well-paved/terribly-paved flats. I don't know much about older bikes, so any help I can get would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Torrin
p.s. I just scored some great wheels. Shimano 105 hubs, red anodized Mavic open pro rims, with sweet looking and super strong twisted spoke lacing. They also came with Hutchinson Carbon Comp Road Tires and thorn-resistant tubes. 150$$ Brand new. They look amazing.
