Looking to grab a Bandit frame..Called those guys like 6 times - nothing. Ha, maybe I shouldn't buy a Bandit frame.

Anyway, they fit their completes with 140mm forks. Can this thing take a 150mm? Thanks

I have a frame on the way as well (has taken a while to get here--blame Sea Otter?). Based on what I've seen poking around the interwebz (and my emails w/ Transition) people have run 140-160 forks on the bike w/o problems or voiding the warrantee.

Ah, no kidding. It's a buying-used issue for me..I'd like to pull the trigger on a decent deal and I've seen more 150s than 140s out there. It's not even a half inch so it should be fine. 160 would definitely be more than I would need. So you're grabbing a Bandit too? Looks like a fun-as-hell frame.
