Can anyone comment directly on the change or move from a Reba Race to the G2 offset? I’m struggling with a $120 US price premium to put a G2 on my Superfly versus a Reba. Yea, I scored a frame only deal, and am building it up. I have a window to get a FOX G2 but the $$$ …. sigh… thanks and good thread.

I’ve been contemplating a 29er and right now I’m hot to trot on a Cannondale Lefty fork with either the Fox internals or perhaps the super light carbon. Since I’m not that tall, I’m looking at a custom steel frame with a 1.5 head tube to accomodate it. Yes, I know this might be tough on a smaller frame. We’ll see. I know Project321 makes a 1.125″ adapter so you can run a Lefty on a normal (OS headtube) 26″ frame. How hard would it be to make one that would alter the Lefty for a G2-ish offset on a 29er? Cannondale, are you listening?

I think that Fisher made a mistake by not offering the rig with a rigid fork. This would get the pricepoint down. Maybe with a G2 offset fork, they can offer a “Rig Rigid” and offer it in the switchblade knock some of the components down and get the bike under $1000.
