Oh yes, I've seen those forks before. Are they discontinued? Cant seem to find them in the uk
B'jammin's Burls now has H son archetypes on it, but if you went for them, and this frame you'd be a copy cat copy cat, sitting on the door mat..
Deep(er) black rims look great on a ti frame...I've always thought black Shamals would be sooo sweet on B's.
I am very aware of his setup, and yeah, dont want to copy too much although theres only so much you can do with a ti track frame.
I did think shamals, but I would rather get something new.
My 2p:
Get a headtube that will take an integrated headset – it looks better and you’ll have more fork options.
I did think this, and he does offer an integrated tube but he says and i quote "Burls recommend standard headsets every time" and then he quotes chris king. Having said that I dont buy into all crap king whines about with integrated. I might go down this route actually.
I echo smallfurry’s rim point. Also CPX33’s aren’t very deep. Something a little more blingy are DT Swiss RR 585 and they come in more drillings and a ti-like grey. There are also those new slightly beefed up stan's that might be worth a look. Otherwise HED belguims.
Thanks, the DT RR's are heavy old things though. Ideally I want to keep the rims in the 450g range, should have mentioned that earlier. Will look into the HEDs, havent heard of them before.
If the headset is something like a King which has a fairly large bottom cup then some integrated forks can blend reasonably well .. Enve to King in attachment
Are there any other headsets with big cups like the kings? I personally feel the king headsets are a way of spending a lot of $$ for nothing other than a brand.
