Yesterday my new fork arrived. I unpacked it, played with it, and mocked installed it. The steerer tube is too long, which I knew would happen. I have the tools to cut it down and get it installed arriving tomorrow. Woo hoo!

I've also been debating on what I want to do with my Heckler. Do I want to replace it? The newer models have a lot more travel. It was a bit of a problem to find a fork that would fit my current frame. Of course now that I have this fork, should I worry about it? I can get it re-powder coated over the winter for like $150 That's a lot cheaper than $1200.
