    very interesting. i do like how they took the stanchion guards to make like a crown. i wonder how much that will actually increase stiffness. im sure more than a dorado but idk how much it will compare to a 40 or boxxer since it isnt built in to the lowers or i guess uppers in this case. it looks to be removable and only in front of the stanchions so i feel like it would only slightly increase the stiffness.

    I think what they're saying is stiffness matters but not as much as you think. I'm curious about that for sure.

    Just like the truck, mods will never end!!!! I havent even started modding out my brand new bike, I am thinking I might leave that one stock which it is good enough and maybe build a new one, the bike shop guys have a nice used frame I might start a build on!!!! Fun times.

    The higher end forks start around $1200. They can go higher too :)

    That's going to be interesting for sure. I mean it's not like these guys haven't been around the block a time or two-I have to believe it's going to be a love it or hate it kind of thing-with love it being my guess.

    Not crazy about the anodized color though...lol.

    ^^If it is that green you are talking about from the site (I had a hard time seeing it on work comp) it seemed pretty cool. Might be hard to match that to a bike though

    I just looked up pedal power generators. It seems like if you biked enough on the full house powered generator you could actually save tons in time. I might try to push this option to the wife. We could get in shape and power the house at the same time. The best product for the full house was around $1000.00 My worry is how much pedaling am I going to have to do to make my money back. Who knows maybe I will get one of these instead of a build a bike... who knows.

    Yes, I sold my '13 Taco. :'(
    SO sexy.

    This fork WILL end up on my new V10c frame. I've been waiting for DVO to finally show us their guns. This one looks promising. I almost made the move on a Dorado Pro a week ago, but could not pass up a BNIB '13 Fox 40 deal that came across my way.
