    Already a thread on this one. I was wondering the same thing.

    http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/general-discussion/8194-12-travel-fork.html

    Karpiel makes a 13" travel bike that I guess is the only reasonable bike for that fork. I heard the thing weighs some 56 lbs if I rememer right. It uses two rear shocks. A coil shock for compression and an air shock for rebound and it's all mixed in the same linkage system.

    Apparently from the vid, this is Josh Bender's bike

    Sorry, they lost my business when I read "1 1/8" steerer tube and the high strength, lightweight aerospace materials."

    May not be strong enough for the abuse I would put that BAD BOY through! That's just me.
    I am sure the average rider would love it :lol:
