The bike is super fast - rides really well - want to see how it holds up over time.

Update on the fork rubbing. I took the fork apart to inspect. Mostly rubbing on the bottom as you can see. I used some sandpaper to remove the matte paint and the thick primer (pink color) below it on the fork. Made a big difference (no rubbing / less) and now it is like the photo in earlier posts. Removing the paint / primer did not get to the carbon fiber of the fork at all. Must be very tight tolerances between the fork and frame and paint and primer is very thick. Will test and report back.

Here is what Airwolf emailed me:

"Hello Dear,this is the same fork,just that when paint,there have some paint on the fork,so that the fork with frame distance is small,we have modify the model already,it will don't have this problem again."

I wonder if that is why your folks had paint sanded off? Pic would be great.

fanfarlo - excellent report. Would you mind posting a photo of what you mean by "paint was removed" for the lower fork area?

"The paint on the fork crown was removed (maybe the fork fit issue)."

They got back to me:

"Hello Dear,this is not the problem of the fork,it is that the cap from the fork and frame is so narraw,i will send you one spacer.which can work for this condition"
