John got a call from Les Baker today – my forks are toast and can’t be straightened. Bummer. Spent some time this afternoon calling the bike shops around Seattle – looks like about $230 for each tube and 7 to 10 working days to get here. That’s a chunk of change and a delay we didn’t need.
Did a little research online as well – hard to find used forks from salvage yards because they are usually the first (or second) thing to get hammered when a bike gets in a wreck.
So… we’re on the hunt for some fork tubes and hopefully we’ll source some in time to maintain our schedule.
Had to cancel a trip down to Johns this weekend due to the weather. We’ve got a ton of snow here in Seattle along with frosty cold and some wind. Tough sledding out there and most of the people on the roads shouldn’t be and they don’t know it.
