steel forks are cheap too. i think rincewind will swap you those carbon ones for steel forks if you buy the bike

Might be worth noting that the headset is the integrated type if people are thinking about swapping forks. You could end up having fun with headsets and spacing.

Whilst I can see why people would be cautious with carbon (and yes, for Polo steel would be my first choice) if you've ever seen the abuse Chicken throws at a set of Specialised carbon forks on a langster you know they ain't exactly fragile. I can fully understand why people wouldn't though.

HAHA
The dolan forks i have to sell are 1",I might want some carbon though.... I can trade ex woodys langster steel forks wich are 11/8" n some monies. There being used with a integrated headset so I dont think you'll have trouble with that. The reason the steel forks are on the langster is because the originals broke when playing polo ;-P

1. Bagjack (Handmade Berlin) large messenger bag - Blue, silver straps. Great condition. Silver waterproof interior. Small pouch for bits and bobs and "secret stash pocket". Ill post pics if anyone is interested...£60.

The only Polo I've played was in Canoes back in the day. Even then we managed to split a few boats along the way going bow to bow for the ball. I should have guessed the mentality would be similar... :-)

They would make a much better road fork!

it was a one off, carbons stronger than steel anyway, theres nothing wrong with using carbon ones if they come with the bike

"We dont reccomend riding the fork after this much damage". at least damage is visible using metal forks, instead of a carbon structure you cant see.

while it is totally true that carbon doesnt just fall apart and is pretty strong, i would say that it is the top quality carbon that you can hit with a hammer and then ride away. Also the hammer test doesnt really take into account the various combination of forces that a fork will be subjected to in a head on polo collision for example. The carbon forks that people would use to play polo with arent normally gonna be top quality and are therefore IMO not gonna last a long life on the polo court although yeah they will probably last for a bit. There are loads of 'one offs' that happen and for the same amount of money you can get really good quality steel forks that will definately last longer than carbon. Theres gotta be a reason that i have never seen someone playing in a polo tourney with carbon forks....buy steel, buy once (for polo)

my point is that if it comes with carbon forks, its fine to use them instead of buying new ones and personally i would have no problem using carbon forks

Given the lack of interest in the complete bike I might well be up for splitting if you're interested in the forks. I'm toying with the idea of building up a rigid Inbred / Scandal so might yet re-use some of the other bits on that.

Wheels also now a very distinct split option if people are interested.
