Steel forked SS, mine was about 25 pound.
My Niner is 23.5lb with those big tyres.
18″ Inbred frame was 5.5 lb, Niner is just over 4.
Currently running them about 24psi, & it rides great. I’ve actually just sold my 29er sus forks. Had them sat for a year, “in case I go to Wales” etc, but honestly not missing them.
Re: the big tyre thing, my next big change will be swapping the rims for 50mm Surly Rabbit Holes so I can run a 3″ Knard tyre on the front. According to Surly, a 2.4 Ralph on a Rabbit Hole is 66mm, so should squeeze on the back. The jist of this is that, the Inbred has
more room than my Niner at the back so room to fatten up a bit. 🙂
And ditto what Ton said. As nice as my Niner is, I paid approx 5x what my Inbred cost for the Niner, but I’ll hold my hands up & say its not 5x the bike. 😐
