Pics of rats with downhill mtb forks/triple clamp mtb forks?

[hewey]

I'm looking for pics of rats and cruisers with downhill forks or triple clamp forks, anyone got some? :mrgreen: I can vagually remember seeing a Felt chopper on here with some on there, but be buggered if I can find it again :roll: :lol:

i used an old set of mountain bike triple tree's to fashion a new set of forks. (stainless tube and drop outs.)

The bike was called 'The Phantom Menace' and it's AWESOME!

I don't think it was ever considered a downhill fork, but the Girvin Pro-Flex looks good on anything techy. Just don't expect it to actually dampen anything.

Elgin with a Girvin mockup. Definitely Girvin's were at best an XC fork, especially the elastomer jobs like this one.

Thanks guys

The reason I ask is I've got my Giant Simple which is about to get rebuilt again after I raided it for parts, here's an old pic

And I just picked up some NOS RST DH forks, basically they'd been sitting on the shop shelf for about 10 years and are still brand new :lol:

The idea bubbling around is part klunker, part flat tracker, but I was interested in seeing what other guys have done
