OK... who has done it?

Who has converted the steerer tube of a Lefty Headshok to a 1 1/8" to fit on a regular head tube?

I would really like to get my hands on a Lefty Ti and build her up to go on my current frame, which isn't a Cannondale so it's 1 1/8"...

Any advice? I believe I remember people doing it before, and people suggesting getting a Marzzochi steerer? But, who can machine the clamps? How much do you figure that'll run?

Also, what is the average going price on a used 2001/2002/2003 Lefty Ti? Anything I should look out for when puchasing one used? How much should servicing the fork cost?

Thanks for the help.

Search the forums, I remember seen pics of several guys that did that conversion.

Keep in mind that the Lefty steerer tube is rivetted at the lower junction & keyed that the top (at least the early ones were - or was that the USE version...) - this was to eliminate any unwanted torsional flex.

Cheers,
