80's specialized hard rock cruz, w/ diamond back rigid fork

im kinda upset that im the only one to post a pic of their ride who doesnt have a big fat boinger up front (w/ the exception of the bianchi cyclocross)....seriously ya'll, a suspension fork is not a necessity!!

but anyhoo-- this is a pretty custom ride. it has a 1" threadless setup....i got a long steerer tubed old 1" threaded fork, and cut off the threads. it actually has a real 1" threadless stem, not a 1-1/8" w/ shim.

i removed all unnecessary brazed on stuff from the fork like fender mounts, cantilever bridge, and the unused cable stops. so come on everyone, go retro!!! MTB forefathers could do it in the 80s, YOU can do it now!!!

single speed--one is all you need
