First post, so be gentle with me smile.gif

Just starting to build an 07 SE PK Ripper, managed to score some great NOS Gt Mohawk Hubs and a pair of Mavic X SUP rims.

But I'm undecided about forks...do I go for a pair of Landing Gear or something different ?

TIA

I'd stay correct and go with Landing Gears.
PBR Streetgang
+1 on the LGs. Post pics when you're done.
Woody's Hot Rods
+2 on the Landing Gear fork.

when buying bars it's always best to try them in a shop. you need to hold them in your hands to see if you like them.

personally, i would go with s&m slam/race bars or maybe a kink lynx or badger. the s&m bars are very similar to some older gt bars.

as for stems ...
the flybikea alta is my new fav stem. it's not too big, so you can still use a pad set.

Progress!

Wheels of being laced, should be back in 2 or 3 days

I always liked thw Supercross Pro bars because they are straighter across (fewer degrees of bend) which I found more comfortable on the wrists and bettter "pull." Sounds like it will be a nice rig.

Should have bars and pedals later today, will post a pic later cool.gif
equinox
Now have completed wheels and cranks, promise to post a picture later today!

Need to decide on a brake lever (V-brake) seat post (27.2) and a seat
