Any one know anything about this fork on ebay. I contacted Kinesis and they claim to know nothing about it. Any one?

That fork was built by Kinesis USA. Kinesis has been making tons of aluminum products for all kinds of bike companies and are a very reputable company in the bike industry. It doesn't surprise me that the folks at Kinesis USA knew nothing of it. Considering the time span, personnel as well as other company changes, etc... Not to mention, I doubt that many of the guys over there today are FAT junkies. Some of which may not have even ever HEARD of FAT, as unbelievable as that might seem.
However I would feel reassured that the quality of the fork will be very good. It will ride stiff and track very well, after all it's designed by none other than FAT. But... it is aluminum which will ride harsh compared to a cro-mo or ti version. Hope that helps ya. bryan |
