Lenght? No idea! Village in Flanders, perhaps?

๐Ÿ˜‰

Oh, sorry....

Means a frame designed to work best with a 120mm travel fork.

It means it was designed with 120mm in mind but can take other lengths.

I would have thought someone on a 14in frame would want to get the front end as low as possible so fitting a 140 fork would seem a bit daft, bearing in mind head tube length puts the bars at the same height on the 14in as on the 18in, say...

oh hi Brant.. :wink:....lol
yeah, 130 forks would sound ok to me.... duno how they got away with it on the orange bikes tho for a 14 inch frame, but it seems to work out fine...
so : just dreaming on for the future (wouldnt mind a piglet .. you can never have enough bikes eh ? ๐Ÿ˜‰ :mrgreen:
