Techno-Ciclo (sounds like “cheek-low”) external “uni-crown” style fork crowns available here at kellybike.com!
I keep bumping into this bucket full of really cool 1″ fork crowns and keep trying to figure out what i want to do with them, so i thought i would just share them with my fellow frame builders or anyone who might think of a good use for them… candle holders, blingy keychains, necklaces – i don’t know – whatever you want them to be? with free shipping and a sweet closeout sale price of only $19.99 how can one possibly go wrong?
call 530-362-8004, email, or order directly from our “Specials & Closeouts page today!

If it works don’t fix it!
I’ve been building forks from the day i built my first fillet brazed mountain bike frame (and fork) in fellow frame builder, Bernie Mikkelsen’s shop back in the early 80’s and have been building them ever since. we began building our popular True Temper MTB fork in large quantities during the mid 90’s as a necessity because it was nearly impossible to source a proper suspension fork of good quality for our 29″ wheel mountain bikes because it simply didn’t exist.
so here we are in the year 2016 and the same rules apply – a fork that is the right geometry, is plenty tough and durable, that doesn’t weigh a ton…. while ive enjoyed the light development of this fork to a longer length to suit our need for more axle to crown (A/C) distance and larger tire clearance, the basic rules and elements still apply and like they say – “classics never die”….
this particular fork is going on one of our older 26″ wheel Deluxe’s and we’re able to offer a very close color match. to sweeten the package even more this particular customer had us fab a very custom stem so he can run the modern 31.8mm handle bar setup… cant wait to see some cool pics of his ride when its all together!
as always, we do production runs of this fork in three axle to crown lengths (435, 450 & 465) and try to keep them in stock the best we can. we also do custom 1″ steer tubes, flared 1 1/8″x1.5″ steer tubes and whatever else a person can dream up.
call (530) 362-8004 or email to order one today!
