i would have got the canti fork if i had the chance but they dont make it any more. i've been looking into clamp on vee and disc brakes but will probably go brakeless or swap the fork. what headset are you using by the way?
I went through all of this when I got mine. Asked for the canti-version fork but they messed up the order and I didn't want to wait... I think unless you take drastic (ie. welding) measures you'll be riding brakeless for a bit. Didn't Scott get canti-mounts welded to his Gangsta-'tourer'?
I asked about disc brakes ages ago when the Gangsta was first made, they were looking into it but apparently stopped testing as the forks were breaking.
Headset is Brooklyn's own... have one on the SR-6 too, has held up OK so far.
