gary ficher g2 geometry question

swagger

hi guys,

im currently demoing a roscoe 2 that has g2 geometry, as i understand this the key thing is the offset crown on the forks.

i like the bike and am considering getting it.
the only thing putting me off is how changing to a fork with a standard crown will effect the handling.

i have know intention of changing the forks, but you never know what the future holds should they break!

any ideas or experience with this?

i appreciate that not alot of people ride them, not sure why as i think its a pretty capable and awesome ride!

cheers
joe

Odds are you won't break something irreplaceable.. Lowers are replaceable, as are then internals. Only special bit is the crown, and if you break that... It's new bike, and probably body time too
