dont you people think the bullit is one ugly bike?!?!?!

Maybe. But then if it's looks, there's nothing like the clean lines of a top spec SS. The piccy of
the one on Santa's website does it justice though I think.

Russ 'always wanted triple clamps'

You've always had 'em now you have two on one fork. Nice Bullit BTW. Crown aka 'triple clamp'
Dual Crown aka 'double triple clamp'

Mike - sorry it's one of my pet peeves. (now git back in yer cage!!!)

What the hell are you talking about?

Dual crown forks being called 'triple clamp' forks.

Mike - under the influence of cough and cold medication.

So they don't clamp in three places?

Santa? Are you referring to the Chameleon? That's not a pretty bike, this is a pretty SS:

Droooool....

Nah, was speaking generically about SS bikes. I like the clean lines and flick-ability of them, and
having a minimal kit bike is also appealing... Personally, if I was going SS, it would have to be
rigid, with mechanical disks, no bottles or bags... Just frame/forks/wheels/brakes/chipped teeth :o)

I've even got an old Canondale that's crying out to be "sorted" but the frame really is a little
small for me although the reach is fine, so not sure whether to invest in new forks & riser bar or
just sell it and use the money to get (a small part of) the bike that started this thread!

Ohhkay, to me a 'triple clamp' is only one crown on a two legged fork. 'Triple clamp' meaning one
clamp for the steerer and one for each leg. With a dual crown setup, i.e. DH forks, there are two
'triple clamps', one on top of the head tube and one below. I read it in magazines a lot where they
refer to a dual crown fork simply as a 'triple clamp' fork which, to me, is technically incorrect.
When Russ wrote that 'he always wanted a triple clamp' I (the humor was lost in transmission of msg)
corrected him by saying "he always had one" meaning his single crown fork on his old bike had a
'triple clamp' on it.

Mike - damn, once you let one of those pet peeves out, they're a [censored] to get back in their cage!!!

I think I'm going to go for something very similar, but with hydro disks.

Yeah, hydro disks are better but I like the thought of being basic... I'm even tempted to go for
V-Brakes as that's even more basic, but then I prefer disks.
