Surly Pugsley Fork

One of the only downsides of ordering the 9:ZERO:7 frame from Alaska was that it did not come with a front fork like the Pugsley Frameset. What that did, besides setting me back an extra $85 was give me the chance to determine my front wheel set-up. Most snow bikes have the ability to be built with two 135mm rear hubs, so you have the ability to have a 10 speed cassette and a fixed or single speed. It is a great option but it adds costs and around a pound in weight. The way around this is the 100mm non-offset Surly Pusgely front fork. I just received mine from Tree Fort Bikes   It is so bomb proof its ridiculous and comes with several braze-ons for brakes or racks.  Jet black fork looks super tough on the frame with the Chris King Patriot headset.
Tree Fort Bikes was super awesome to deal with, one of the cheapest on the market, with lightening fast turn around time and amazing packaging.  They are getting an "A" in the overall experience column
