@Nitrousjunky: Oh c’mon! Ya gotta know the width! Surly makes all their bars the same width- 666mm

They listed “angle” as 53 degrees. That is probably about right. The pic above is a bit misleading if you look at the top bar. The one below it in the pic is closer to reality.

By the way, thanks for the kind jabs about the typo. I got it taken care of.

@Glancing Aft: Velocity will continue the Blunt. The Blunt is 28mm wide. The P-35 is 35mm wide. So there is a place for both in the line.

@trainwreck @EJ: See my Niner Post from Day One and look closely at the orange Carbon Air 9. Tapered carbon fork there! And yes, they have it available separately.

Through axle rigid forks are not as necessary, but I suspect there will be one or two examples coming soon. I know of one possibility for sure.

I’ll second what trainwreck said. And while we’re at it, how about a 15QR rigid fork?
