    Hi all,

    So, in recent years Ive had a swift with both sets of forks at times.
    I’m now going back to a Swift but need a fork.
    Both similar prices – exotic £120 ish, Singular £100 ish

    Singular :
    Matches lovely with the frame.
    Not too harsh
    Bent two pairs in the past before going exotic.

    Exotic :
    Not so much rake
    Nice and light
    Never destroyed 1 pair, let alone 2.
    Great resale value
    Wrong colour.

    So, having my thoughts in mind, which would you go for and why ?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Did the same as you with my Swift before I sold it and went back to the original forks. Found them less harsh, better balance for bike overall and never bent a pair!

    Ironically now got a P29er with the Exotic forks which are good but looking (for about 2 years) for Niner ones with a straight steerer and sensible length.
