Evening,

Ok, this is a huge long shot...

I have built me a rather stunning (I don't mind saying so myself) Cotic Soul, I have everything except a fork and I can't wait any longer.

I'm after a 130mm travel fork, must be white, 15mm maxle, tapered steerer, post mount and be new. Budget is around the £320 mark.. I really like the X Fusion Velvet but can't get one until next week.. I know I should be patient and wait but I have been holding back for months..

So does anybody own, work or know of a bike shop that has such a thing instore?

I live in Dundee so must be near by, Edinburgh or Aberdeen area would be great..
Oh and must be able to cut the steerer and fit the star nut thing tomorrow.. I'll bring the bike for all the relative measurements.

So I know it is a huge ask but maybe the font of knowledge that is STW will come up with the goods again.

Email mikedonald@hotmaildotcom or post up here.

Thanks,

Mike.

Vortex plus 1.

Spaced mine to 140, now to 130, and lowered the stem (can you see a soul theme here?)

Freeflow in Glasgow had a ridiculous number of forks on display last time I was in there.

Are the revs not super expensive?

Yeah thought about phoning Glentress and the shop in Inners in the morning.. I'll get onto it ASAP in the morning.

Thanks dudes

You could have ordered from Merlin yesterday and they would have been with you today 😉 (just like my chains)
