So I have been wanting a Slate for a while but just didn't want to pony up at least $2000 for the 105 version and also I find the green color on it to be ghastly. Shop said they could get me the 2017 Apex 1 with the rigid lefty for $1100 so decided to jump on it. Couple of days after I ordered it I came across someone on ebay selling a pristine lefty oliver fork and was able to get it for $450 so I'm pretty stoked. Question is if anyone knows if I will need to swap out the headset on the bike? The rigid lefty is single crown but the steerer tube diameter is the same at 1.5". Not sure if a special headset is required to handle dual crown lefty's.

Well in case anyone cares the rigid Slate has different headset bearings than the Oliver version. So if you happen to have the rigid slate and want to convert to put an oliver on it you need 2 parts.

Swapping out for the oliver was super simple once I found this out.
