Hi all,

I know the F1 came threaded, for sure (Ive owned a few). Were there versions of it that were threadless as well?

As always, thanks in advance,

Steve

PS: Am I just having a blond moment?

Yup, had a threadless (with a Ti steer tube!) on my recently sold Hors Cat.

Heard form a source that the Ti ones were flexy.
Steel F1 is the way to go.
My F1 is thread-less. Most F1's were thread-less I do believe.

I just replaced my F1 with a F3 .... report to follow soon.

I have one here too, Steve....since you're in the biz, a date with Lindsay Lohan for BB Dave scores the fork...

That is quite an offer! I will call her now and get back to you.

The reason I ask is because there is a frame-fork I have my eye on and it has an F1 (threadless) fork. Was just curious...

BTW, I have probably owned a couple threadless F1 forks over the years. Again, I think I am having a blond day (month/year).

And, in the end, if I do end up with this frame and for, I may just swap out the F1 for an F3 (like I did on my Hors Cat).

I did that with my Hors Categorie. Really changed the whole feel of the bike (for the better)...

Slight thread drift...has anyone made the switch from an Ouzo Pro to an F1,F2 or F3? Observations? Detectable change in ride and/or handling? Thanks in advance.
