(Hope that picture works)
I think it's nicer than a Fargo, the fork is gorgeous!

I hope they've ordered more of those than they did the Longitude, I think it'll be popular.

No anything cage mounts? Wonder how tight the clearances are, from that pic they look tight with fairly small tyres.

Got a feeling that they've ditched the fork pictured above for a straight blade unicrown effort. Will try and dig out where I read that but would assume this now means anything cage mounts as well as the 3 bottle cages in/under frame...

One good thing is that I can see what 10spd bar end shifters it has that work with Shimano MTB kit.

Is upset ... I thought the curved forks made the bike.

I think it was supposed to be double-crown too...



There was talk of a lugged, curved fork for the Croix* range, not sure if that will materialise, kind of hope so.

Spec for the Vagabond is apparently:

RandoX bars sound interesting, hopefully more of a Cowbell flare than the Woodchipper...

I would far rather have the pretty fork with the added flex of the bend than a cork with anything cage mounts, which I don't use, maybe I would if I had them?

Hope the change the head angle if they put straights on. Otherwise it's going to handle like a dog.

Don't worry pretty, you're still the best.

If the fork is straight, I can only hope one of these http://www.carboncycles.cc/?s=0&t=2&c=7 ... tb=001#top would be the right dimensions with enough clearance.
