Do we really need a rigid lefty fork? I thought the whole idea of the Lefty was the weight savings, increased torsional stiffness, and reduced stiction. None of those benefits will be seen on a rigid version of the fork. Ok, maybe there will be some weight reduction, but it will probably be negligible, right?
Well, take a look at the Lefty on the full bike. The new Cannondale Bad Boy Street bike. Now you can see the reason. It's clean, sleek, and minimal. Nothing extra on this clutter-free masterpiece.
Now if I only lived in the city and had a real purpose for this thing.
