chumbox: I do have the specs. The axle to crown will be 473mm. The G2 offset = 51mm. The non-G2 will be 46mm. (Conveniently, the G2 26 inch fork is 46mm offset, so the 29″er non-G2 is probably using the same crown.)

So no info on the rake and length of the forks? Looks hot though. I’m guessing 44mm and 51mm (that’s G2 right?) in a 465mm fork?

Wow for an alu frame, that has got to have some of the smoothest welds in the world…and why a dropped chain protector?

GT, are those carbon rims on the xxx wheelset or is it my imagination or the patchy annodizing?

as a racing concept cloxxki, what do you reckon you can build a geared superfly down to?

Our trails down under are too technical and have too many rocks, steps and drops to make a rigid bike faster regardless of weight savings but interesting and fun as a concept nonetheless….

I’d say that frame looks exactly like the 2010 Flies I’ve seen being raced so far this year…

Just glossy white instead of Subaru/GF colors.

Hmmm??? interesting very interesting, could it possibly be a Prototype 29er from Trek, as the head tube and seat tubes are different from the Fisher 29ers, just an observation from an interested observer….
