I think Manitou did it with their elastomer versions years ago.

I tried to do a google image search, but no luck

did find this tho, is it in there?[img] [/img]

why would you want to? it sounds like my strika circa 1980 which had rigid forks done up to look like triple clamps

EDIT: yes, I know now that the "fork boot" bit is in the wrong place but I didn't when I was 7

My old ones had an Ohlins sticker on one leg and a TF Tuned one on the other. It amused me and nobody else, apparently.

northwind, exactly.
I put a rockshox sticker on the rubber damper on the brompton. just my personal joke.

Seeming as I'm painting the fork anyway, I thought a rs1 paintjob would be amusing/incredibly sad.

There was this CNC'd balance bike by STWer stevied:

On a kid's bike.
