Just got the fork installed, only had the chance to ride around the block. First impressions compared to the original fork: lighter and more precise feeling. I'll take some more pictures and let you guys know how it handles out on the trails.
Next will likely be a new handlebar/stem combo, something with a good amount of rise and sweep. Maybe the velo orange klunker bars, or a Jones Hbar. It would just be nice to shorten the steerer some more! Lol
