    20" Springer fork??!?! Anyone?

    Dave- tomorrow is the veloswap: http://veloswap.competitor.com/ Along with 20" springers, there will be plenty of other goods at killer prices. Cost is $8 to get in, if you go to Performance Bike Shops or go to the above link you can save a couple bucks and get tix for $6.
