saw a guy in Chelt cycles who'd done a great CX conversion on one with rigid forks

My friend has one, and I have the geared version.
The forks are the real weak point, as they have a horrible clunk when they top out.
We both fitted Manitou tower pro forks and now have really nice handling bikes.

They're both on offer at Evans right now.

Had read previous reports on forks being the weak point. Had thought about fitting some carbon rigids
