Mmmmm mmmmm... I really do quite like this one (unlike that Porsche thing the other day!), quite tempted to try and find the money for it actually!

Not bad - Looks a bit like an old school cannondale - killer v?
Does that fork design actually work to an acceptable standard? It looks aesthetically terrible IMO, but I've never ridden a bike with them on.

Looks like a dale with a girvin fork. Looks ok bar the wheels

Yep, 'tis a Killer V with (I'm fairly sure) Girvin Vectors on the front. I'm hoping to pick a set up soon to try out, they're supposed to be quite good (in their own way, would certainly feel different to a 'normal' fork I'd think?)

I particularly like the wheels
Really quite like these as well:

Girvin Vectors were good back in the days when the only other forks were a Manitou 1 or a RockShox Mag 21...
They've got a really weird J-shaped axle path, it kind of comes back towards you then tucks under. For maximum amusement (for spectators) they need to be run with a Girvin FlexStem...

Psychle, you ever go out? Judging by your impeccable taste in bikes I'd say you should do it more often

I always liked those forks. I wonder if you could fit a modern air shock in there instead of that coil - might be able to get good performance out of them if so.

ride it to swinley and i'll award you 1 million philssupercoolpoints

Reminds me a little of the old SE Racing Quadangle.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Sorry that is just shite and will ride shite as well as look shite.
I presume Psychle you got into riding after those times? Honestly, give it up! Old stuff mostly rides crap. Just hang a photo up.

That might well be the ugliest bike I've ever seen.

A set of those Spinergys went on TheeBay a few weeks ago
I think they were hand built

Looks good - how much?
Seems to be sending the fashionistas into a frenzy...

i like that! are the forks not those girvin lookalikes? i thought it was always elastomer for girvins?
Posted 1 year ago # -
they had coil too
Posted 1 year ago # -
The question is why, its like lusting over a well kept Austin Allegro Vanden Plass

I like the paint, is it made of porcelain?

Thems Girvins with the Noleen coil shock. Had a set on my Proflex BITD.
They were rubbish. Their weird j motion thing, wraxed my coxyc due to them once 1.5 hours into a 7.5 hour ride.
And the rear Noleen broke at the top of the Firmounth leaving me a 2 hour walk back to the car. Not a happy bunny that day....

ah ok. but who was the other company that made similar forks?
anyway, i always fancied one of those frames; i remember some touring story in MBUK many years ago with a couple of them loaded with panniers and set for offroad adventures

Surely you are getting the "J-Shaped" stroke mixed up with the old PRST-1 and JW-2 bikes. That design looks like it just moves up and down in a pretty linear way.

I actually quite like that. :-/

Innit tho? Dat iz well hench.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Look? AMP and Lawwil (sp) did linkage forks too.
Posted 1 year ago # -
i don't think it was them, coulda been though. some kind of fork that had solid legs to right under the stem, just like there them girvins...
