We build the forks for the bike as well. We got a few parts from McMahon Racing. The dropout tabs faced back in order to bring the stanchions more in line with the impacts they absorb. If they had faced forward, with the angled stanchions they whoud have had way too much rake. They worked very well. Alex won one of the Sandia cross country races on this bike. (Pic at right) The rear wheel had a thin fiberglass fairing. The rear brakes were Magura hydraulic rim brakes and were mounted integrially to the bottom of the chainstays. We were one of the first framebuilders using integrated headsets.
