Yes, that is correct, I had a Hammer and later upgraded to the Sledgehammer. There was a pretty significant weight difference between the butted or double butted Tange of the Hammer versus the Tange Prestige of the Sledgehammer. I know I’ve seen that bike on Ebay before, who could forget that f*ckin’ hideous orange, must have been on MTBR or Bike Forums. That fork is all wrong, Kozi never designed a fork using oversized tubing, so that fork in the Ebay ad is all wrong… meaning it’s not a tapered leg fork made from Tange Prestige. I wouldn’t want it for that reason alone, the frame lacks originality and will be front end heavy. You’d be hard pressed to find a double butted Tange Prestige fork to bring the frame back to proper, you could easily spend more on the replacement than the auction!
