Falz Fork.

[jpw]

Is the Falz fork made in-house?

can't say with 100% certainty but 99% sure its not


edit - went to the website

First line says. Designed, prepared and painted in house so its probably made where most forks are made, Taiwan.

The Falz forks are made in Taiwan. As it was explained to us, we are a Pegoretti dealer, it is a Dario design and he had a heavy hand in its development and quality control.

I got one from Jerk to replace the original Reynolds Ouzo that came with the BLE. Really balanced out the bike.

This thread reminded me of the discussion ath in which some guy was insisting that the Falz fork was made by Trigon, and Dario (who the guy clearly didn't know was Dario) kept asking the guy for his sources and countering that the forks were not made by Trigon. For over a page of back-and-forth debate, Dario kept telling the guy his sources were wrong. When the guy asked Dario for his source, Dario quipped: "I am just a blacksmith , sorry!” Finally, someone put an end to the antics by telling the guy that “Mr. Round = Dario.”

Someone here has the phrase "I am just a blacksmith” as their signature.

Talk about a name from the past. It's amazing how quickly the Ouzo Pro went from being THE fork on just about everything, to "Ouzo What?" and not even available if you wanted one.

Classic. It should have won an internet prize.

The designer (Mike Lopez) left MQC/Reynolds to partner with Serotta (and iirc to do other carbon fabrication), and then the other MQC founding partners left to start Edge (which later changed its name to Enve). My recollection was that there was no one left at Reynolds with either the know-how or the desire to keep the fork production going. Perhaps Mike Lopez can chime in to clarify the history.

Serotta forks are still some of the best forks for rim brakes ever made, in different stiffnesses no less, and I believe Mike makes current versions that are available through Holland. And of course Enve has grown to a dominant position in the aftermarket/custom bike fork market. Reynolds killed off the Ouzo Pro, but the braintrust that created it is still very much active.

Yeah, they look good with bigger tubes, and for those looking for alot of clearance, you can get at least a 32mm in there.

The Ouzo fork on Emma was nice, all painted to match, but it was kind of suspect under the crown with some deep gouges from rocks that stuck to the tire. The Falz has much more clearance.
