I heard a rumor that they'll have 34mm stanchions (sp?) but the source isn't exactly credible.

Same forks as 2007. There may be some color differences on the Team/Race (or maybe not), but the World Cup is the same.

However, I would be willing to say that the SRAM pilots will be on Mission Control Boxxers sooner or later.

So plush, neva bottoms!

But in all seriousness I'd be interested to see what the fork is like for 2008.
