Also, when built up, it handles great! What a great platform. Ditch that brick of a fork and go 700c rigid steel disk fork 1 1/8 threadless, which can be found.
Hahaha, yes of course you're right. I had the fork off this weekend. It is a very light frame. I actually ordered a fork last night only to realize this morning that it will be too short to keep the angles correct, so I canceled the order. Maybe a 700c fork would keep the angles right. I have been searching and searching for a decent fork that won't break the bank; there are so many things to consider with brakes, wheel size and axle to crown length. I wasn't sure if a 700c fork would work. Maybe I'll take a closer look at those.
