They have green one's in stock on the website at the moment. Not sure if it's worth waiting around for more colours to be shipped seeing as they cost half as much as the V3 Frame does. It's either them or identiti park forks but i'm not sure if the steerer length is long enough for the 56 frame. Can't find many others (in white) with a low a2c and a reasonable price. Decisions, dicisions!

only thing i could find to fit the 56cm frame steerer was the DMR trailblade 2's, got mine (without pivots) from Wiggle but looks like they're out of stock right now

Oh dear! good job i didn't rush into buying the identiti's. Are you running the V3 56 or an earlier model? What's the DMR a2c like, not too high? I wouldn't have even thought about the forks throwing the geo out until someone told me on here.

I heard that Brian Castillo's nose will fetch £13,000 when he dies and that his 7ft tall skinny-as-fuck physique makes it easier for him to tailwhip bunnyhop

Everywhere seems to say they are 440mm a2c maybe i'm looking at the wrong thing.

Where can i get some of these in a 1" ?

You can't, what trick frame on earth has a 1 inch steerer anyway?!

Yeah i think they are actually 440mm,but that info's from DMRs site i think...

As James says not many trick frames have 1" steerer so you don't have too many options:

Okay since there seems to be a lot of questions about what forks work for what and how do I make my bike barspin and such I thought a thread would be a solid idea.
Just some general info regarding fork choices: Regardless of head tube size you'll want to look for a (relatively straight) rigid mountain bike fork. Some for of steel is probably your best option. Most cool kids use steel forks anyway, so why bother with carbon or aluminum?

Options for both head tube sizes:
-650c or 26" wheel
-changing to a headsets with a taller bottom race gives about 1/4" more clearance
1" head tube options:
-For threadless:
--Custom head tube spacer
--Kona P2 fork
--Starfuckers 0 Rake triple crown fork. Custom order $120
--Kinetic fork
--INZIST Bicycle barspin folk
-For Threaded:
--Most old threaded rigid mountain bike forks
--Converting your bike to threadless

They say that they make them though!
So you must be able to get them somewhere!

they definately do, i've read somewhere too about 1inch trick forks. They were either brooklyn ones or something like that. If you can't find any specific trick forks i would go with the kona P2, it's cheap too.

Any ideas which headsets have tall bottom races?
