Aw man, I can relate, I got a concussion my first race on the velo. So easy to cross wheels when things heat up on the last laps.

Thanks. Luckily the fork was the only damage and I've already got hold of a new wing pista fork to replace it. :)

I found one on ebay. It's just plain black, so doesn't match the black and white frame, but I'm going to add some graphics to it like I did to the last one.

Looks like fun! hahaa
nice build, just needs the wing pista fork

roboto says:

Thanks, it is fun. Not sure if a Wing Pista will make a big difference as the geo is already tight and there is a lot of toe overlap already. My guess is the only difference is the drilling on the pista fork.
