Reminiscing the Tonic - swapping 4x lowers

It hasn't been that long, but I already miss this frame.

For the large part of my Tonic Fallguy relationship, the frame rocked a Sherman Jumper fork. Towards the last third of it, the Jumper was swapped out for a Marzocchi 4x (Nemesis tuned, sort of a big deal back in late '90s).

It originally came with white lowers, and I rode it like that for about a week, but promptly thought better of it once I got into a nasty altercation with Fashion Police. I faced serious jail time if I didn't swap out the forks white lowers for black - and not only that - disc brake tabs HAD to be shaved off. Fuck the cops.

Anyway, I don't want no trouble (double negative to confuse the law). Below is the photographic evidence from the case that I used in the court - C2D lawyer recently notified us that it's now ok for us to share them with you.

Kowa / Nemesis Project Fork



$599.99 suggested retail
480mm axle to crown
5.60lbs
CNC’d upper crown
36mm stanchion
Rebound damping
Coil spring

I like the looks of it. Very crisp design, aesthetically at least. However, for a jump/street fork, it seems overpriced, overbuilt and overweight. We'll see how these get reviewed, I would love to see one in person...
