hello, despite the lack of replies to my previous post :\
i have decided on getting the '09 NS Capital 2 :D
oh yeah so i have a question - what fork should i get?
i was thinking of getting the RockShox Argyle,
but im not sure if its suitable for this frame :\
(as in the geometry and everything)
or do you guys have any recommendations?
oh yeah and if i do get the Argyle, should i get the 302, 318, or 409? :\

please help me T_T
-thanks:-)

Here's some tips:
-Tell us more about your riding style and what you want (ie: street, dirt, park, if weight is an issue, if you like adjustability)
-price range?
-one emoticon per post please
-what sort of geometry do you like? Steep? Slack?

Pink bike is a great place for open ended, tell-me-what-to-do posts like this. They also have no emoticon limit.

I'm planning on getting the same frame, but I'm definitely gonna do a rigid fork. A stock Argyle will probably be longer than what most people will put on there. I'm probably gonna put a 435mm a2c fork on mine, and I feel like I read somewhere that that's what the 72.5deg head angle was measured with.

Just out of curiosity, where are you getting the frame? I'm waiting around for them to get in stock.

I think you might be pleased with a chromed-out low rider fork. Get the rigid though, those external coil springs are not made for the kind of abuse you may put them. I see these forks all over LA, they seem to be popular, so they must be good.

Post pics after you get some good sessions in.
