What about the FORK attached to the FRAME which makes a world of difference in how the specific FRAME handles and rides? Knowing it was a (fill in the blank) frame with a (fill in the blank) fork would would be enlightening. Because of circumstances - I have had an Easton, Bontrager and a True Temper fork installed on my Tetra Pro *only difference was the fork* - no comparison whatsoever in ride quality. Their range (not necessarily in the order shown) is, in my estimation, from Super riding and handling to Bottom of the Heap. Fortunately, with Calfee Designs the final choice was mine. Once the bike is built, the fork and frame are invariable. Tyres and wheels make a difference - however, the obvious, the FORK is half the road contact. Post Extras
