Hi, I recently bought a new mtb frame, and want to buy a suspension fork to go with it. My question is, my frame is pretty light (4.5 lbs) and will a heavy suspension fork totally screw up the balance of my bike? What's a good weight for this? I've been doing a lot of googling for bike geometry and such, but everything I read seems to deal with replacing an existing fork and not with adding a fork to a frame w/o one. My frame is pretty much generic (i think, no decals, just plain black) and didn't come with an owner's manual. Any tips? Also, can anyone tell me why the down tube is so funny looking? (cross section would look like a teardrop)
Thanks.
Thanks.
