Does the silk road make sense as a bike now? I imagine relatively tight clearances and a light and stiff frame compromised by a hefty squishy fork. I saw it on the bay and was tempted, but only if i could fit a normal fork but imagine a cannondale proprietary nightmare to ensue....
Those forks are pretty light. Fitting anything other than an SR fork is easy but kinda pointless - if you are going to have a frame designed around a proprietary short travel fork, might as well fit that fork.
