Last week, Function Bikes took delivery of our "first article" race crown parts from our manufacturing partner in Oregon.  While these were only the upper and lower clamp for both the Fox 40 and Marzocchi 888, it gave us the opportunity to double-check and fine tune the fit of the clamp on the fork legs.  The parts were left in raw aluminum, so you can see how nicely they're finished even before they get anodized.  Everything fit together as planned, although we'll make a couple of tweaks to our tolerances to ensure the kits are a breeze for customers to install.  Now we're just dying to see the final kits fully anodized and laser etched!
