quotes Hi mate i bought the forks and integrated crown second hand and didnt have to move the stanchions for it too fit and i still get full travel from the forks, i guess it all depends how much youve cut your steerer down, but if your using the tall top crown on your boxxers you should be fine,, only thing i had to do was use a 5mm stem spacer below the top crown to stop it fouling the frame, you can just see the gold spacer below the crown in this pic... hope this helps...

quotes well done you.....

quotes yes mate i do realise, but the bottom one on this isnt changeable, the top is but the bottom is a fixed size, the bushings cant be changed it would mean changing the whole bottom mounting which i dont think can be done,, its a bit of a strange one as its the only one i've seen where both sets of mounting bushings cant be changed hence the reason its probably not selling.....

If it has a 135 rear, go for the Easton Havoc wheelset, you won't be dissapointed.

Hey man, it must still be better than any of the Ninian platforms! People fall through the grating on them! I allways likedd the slayer, looks like it's really compact, good for glentress.. I think i'll get home mid-next week, i'm heading off to the Balmoral platform pretty soon after I get back, not sure when. I'll give you shout if I can make it up to Ft Bill in the next few weeks, we take a van so i'm sure we can pick you up if you like.

Hey buddy, how's it going? I'm currently on a gas platform called the Britannia, it's pretty cool like, good internet, food, and even big bay windows in the accomodation block! I'm hoping to have some cash spare for a demo frame when I get back but i've recently aquired a BMW 325i that i'm tuning up!!

Nice one, so you move around alot. I also move from platform to platform, work on fpso's also. I'm glad as the thought of being core crew on some of the platforms i've been to depresses me! What's Pitfichie like? I've never been there...
