Title: There is Fork simular to Crosslink, here is Pics.
Post by: Vitaliy on February 27, 2003, 09:14:16 am

Hi Guys then I was in Eastern Europe(Ukraine)  last time I seen  thre the fork made by HurryCat, I didn't know much about Crosslinks back then, and thought that this was the Original design, I liked it a lot, but didn't have the chance to ride it.

I heard the Giant might put then on top of the line bikes they make. Hurrycat is not sold in US yet, but they might start saling them after Giant introduce it here.
Here is the Pictures of it:[td][/td]

I've read good reviews on that linkage design (HurryCat).  Very sharp!!  I'd imagine a hefty price that would make it sensible only as a package deal on the Giant.  There's certainly a void here in the states with Crosslinks no longer produced.  Here's another angle on linkage forks http://www.lookcyclesusa.com/fournales-fork.htm
