I'm looking to build up a Hornet frame, but I need some advice on which fork to get for it. I'm not afraid to ride up the hills as well as down them, so what sort of experience have you guys had with dual position forks? Would DPA Revelations be suitable for a frame like this, or would I be better off saving the money/weight and just putting up with climbing on 140mm? Also, any alternatives I might not have thought of?
Has anybody seen these going for about £300 - £350 or less? (don't mind going for 2013 model to save a bit of money)
Also, 26 or 27.5 doesn't make a difference with this frame, so I'm happy with either.
I know 3 people who have only just recently bought and built up these frames,all have put different forks one,One has went with the 160 Pikes,another with older 140 pikes i think and one with 160 domains...some tapered and some straight steerer
I just bought 150 pikes from a french mob for 320 delivered under a week

I hear those Xfusion slants are great forks for the money and they can be had very cheap, mine were excellent.
Oh and they are for sale for only £250ish if you interested 😉
