Taken from an email I received from Vicious Cycles:

Brian,

we are using a 38mm (1.5") offset. the weight is 2.5 pounds. they cost $250 with a stock color of black. ANY custom color is available for an additional charge of +$40. delivery is 2-3 weeks.

thanks again,
Vicious Cycles

Great news...I always liked their 26" forks, I'm sure the 29"ers will be great as well.

Must be really nice, for a non-custom fork with less offset than a Reba and a weight identical to the $80 KM fork. Walt's forks ARE custom, cheaper, and lighter. Not sure if color choice is free.

I know people can get really passionate for their favorite brand, I just don't always get it

Any pics to convince me?

haha nice one Cloxxki...

kill the messenger.

Thanks for posting though, more options are always nice, market will dictate what's overpriced, cough cough $400 Strong fork.

Any word on what the axle-crown is?

Wouldn't give up my Walt fork for either.

Nice - Every Vicous fork I have ever ridden was very nice.

B - this is the 470mm-ish A-C fork right?

I heard this one set you back a pretty penny, sir. I bet you got your money's worth out of it, though. Drevil said he has more where this came from, so keep your mouth shut, smart ass.

I thought he called that 'The Fist of Adonis'

It makes sense to use carbon fiber. Flexier and not so cold to the touch. Can you get custom sizing?

Wow, this gives me an idea for some handlebar-mounted gloves, in fur of course.

Old news, already passed it on...

I'm surprised you didn't see it on the Frederick ride? Especially the way Ricky rides, sit, stand, sit, stand, sit, stand, sit, stand... When I gave it to him he did need to order the XL fist for it, so you should be able to test his bike out.

Sorry, just saw this

Seems everyone got very familiar with 'The Caligula Saddle.'

Thread of the year!

I seldom laugh out loud at anything on MTBR, but the photoshopped pic of Drevil with the big stretched out grin...

Shouldn't you guys be working or something?

Wait. So should I...

Those red knickers are awesome, btw.

I thought Vicious had already been making 29" forks for years?

this would be the suspension-corrected one.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too funny...I just got Photoshop with a canon d20 camera and don't know jack how to use it. Are there any good online resources besides the photoshop for dummies book? This would be fun..

 

[dRjOn]

it had better be

at that weight. seems odd the differences in weight given the selection of tubes and lengths for, say, if (see peedgoats weight), the vicious, a walt and a kona p2 type of a thing.

anyone enlighten us why there is up to a 500g difference?
