Ok, so I have this single speed. I've been riding it for about 4-5 years and walking it up some hills for about 1% of the time (ok, not a very good number but it sounds good) and has been rigid for 3.5-4.5 of those years. I can't really remember when the the Judy Race blew a seal so it's still a guess. As luck(?) would have it, I was walking to the grocery store with my wife the other day and what do I come across? A Z1. Yes, that's correct. In the yard of a building under construction on 7th st. just north of McDowell. Anyone own it? Good. Didn't think so. One stanchion is slightly ovalized but there is no leakage to be seen. As it is, I have bent the brake post on my ridig fork after a quite enjoyable and fun filled ride at South Moutain. OK, so would I be ruining my SS reputation and rigid experience if I switched out my steel fork for a suspension fork? Would I end up becoming less than cool? I need post-discovery approval for installing this fork on my Voodoo. Thanks for any insight you righteous folks can provide.
Why the f-ck do you care what people think of what you do with "your" bike? It's your ride!!!

I ran rigid for a while. Mainly just to remember what precision steering was like (it has been so very long). I got over it. However, Granny Gear has just instituted a "SS Rigid" category, so I'm going to have to get a good rigid fork before April rolls around...

Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world. :-]
