Let me correct myself.
I love the position of the handlebars.
The aluminum fork is rather harsh. To harsh maybe. I get a very little but noticeable bump when ever there is the slightest change in the terrain. I sometimes think I'm doing damage to the front headtube. Where the bike already has the durability of a flower and not the oak tree. I really think enough of these little bumps will add up to the one big hit. for the record the headset is on straight and tight. there is no looseness, play, or jiggle in the headset. So honestly I have no clue where the sound is coming from, it could be a rattle from loose brakes! idk.

I hear that upgrading the fork is a huge upgrade from the bike I ride now and want to try it out. But to be honest and actually logically read your statement sir. I'm debating of having the shop thread the fork so I can keep the original headset, quill and bars. But now I just limited the forks capability correct?
