Thats some mad saddle to bar drop!

I know - the bike was not made for cruisin' around...

It was my first impression too!
You see that bike next to you on a race start(seat height, 36T, rigid fork... ), and you know this one won't be easy

...then you take a look at the rider and you see that he is almost 50years old - so it will be easy...

I really like that riding position.
In the early 90s, I had more saddle to bar drop:
only 9-10cm head tube, short fork length (and a veeeery long 140mm Syncros Stem… )

Great bike! I have been looking at their forks before,  very Nice! Do you HEvD the specs of the fork?
What BB are you riding? Is the 36t an easy fit?

Well, I'm not that far for the age, and ride with a 30T.
So my impressions would probably stay, even when seeing the old man on the bike

sorry, I don't have any specs of the fork.
I only know:
Fork length 470mm
Postmount (at least 180mm rotors)
15mm axle
Sören, CEO of Vpace, sent me pictures of his own bike with this fork and I was in love immediately 
I'm sure, he will update the website with all specs soon...

the 36T was an easy fit. the frame has a 92mm pressfit bottom bracket and I have mounted the sram/truvativ GXP bottom bracket without any spacers.

 I will take some pictures (fork and BB) and post them on monday...

Good Morning from germany  ,

here are the promised pictures:

Fork...





...and Bottom Bracket

92mm bottom bracket and mounted bearings without any spacers.


enough space for the 36T

Nice pics! I think there is a difference between the BSA and the PF bottom brackets in clearance from the frame. I have a 256sl with 34t xx1 chainring and there is about 2 mm left before touching the frame, so no way a 36t chainring wil fit.

Do you know the weight of the fork? Very Nice fork!

Ya, that fork is sexy. Macht mich geil. Wonder what the closest clone from a chiner vendor is.

Did you get your raceking race sports to go tubeless? And I think I found the "chiner" version of your fork.. from this vendor picture 2.. he sent me 2 geo's of 2 different forks and one of them was the copy of your fork i'm 80% sure ..

...I didn't try.
It must be very difficult to seal the Conti tires
Maybe I switch to Michelin 26" latex tubes...

Yep looks like the same fork! What's the vpace price.

[d34n]

I got told by the vendor that that fork is actually a 27.5 fork.. They are only 7mm different in height... Crazy.
