Decent fork with ALL the mounts.
Not that cheap though.

Both the Gekko and the Marin is in my hands now, but the Kona got away. That’s fine tho’, I’ll just build up the Gekko as a functional beater.
So now I need some forks. There is next to none information about the Gekko available on the web, but the seller told it had a 100 mm travel fork when he got it.
The front is a bit lower than the Marin, which was designed around 80 to 100 mm travel, so I guess the Gekko was originally made for 60 to 80 mm forks. It will probably need a rigid fork in the ballpark of 420 mm to 440 mm A2C. Any suggestions for cheap, decent fork with rim brake studs? The On-One 26er fork looks cool, but lacks mounts for racks and fenders, which is a bummer.
For the Marin, I think the Ogre (447 mm A2C) or Soma CrMo (457 mm A2C) forks may get the job done.
The colour is popping more IRL.
Not sure if I love the decals or if it should get a respray and retro style decals.
Interesting triangular tubing.
