Hi,

was wondering if anybody has had experience with the suspension fork that BF used to offer with their pocket gnu. Somehow, it seems that BF has stopped offering it as an option.

I'm wondering if it will make a ride on cobblestone streets or gravel trails easier for say...a NWT or crusoe.

Thanks :)

The Gnu is still offered, but they don't advertise it because it's not a big seller. It uses the Action-Tec fork which works fine, but lacks a lock-out function. The Gnu is the only BF that can be mounted with the sus fork, because the head tube angle needs to be different than the standard models.
