Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I am way too old for that stuff wondering what people thought of the 445 front fork when lynskey says it is designed for 165 but it handles great at the 445

Sweet ride!

Isn't it set up for a 485mm?
I could see it working w/the 445mm due to the high rise stem you got going....a bit tighter in the turns.

That would probably lower the bottom bracket and steepen the headtube angle too much for my liking, but if it works for you, rock on.
