Ohhhh - I thought the Whippet frames had potential to look nice without the random whippet graphic etc etc....

Can a whippet take a 120mm fork? [isn't it the same geo as a std inbred and they ride ok with 1200mm up front?]

On-one state 120mm max so yes.

1.2m could be tricky

same geometry, but the effective head tube is quite a bit shorter due to the internal headset.

Thanks and apologies for the typo. 1.2m would be nice and stable in a straight line down hill though!

Is that the original colour or did you get it refinished?

Very nice, love the old school BT yellow.
