Getting a front made would just be for the "bling" factor. I did approach AC about this just after the rear was sent out, but then decided better of it - it just isn't needed.
By all means, get together and approach Jonathan with numbers etc. and see if it is economical for him to do it but I won't be getting one as I don't feel the need. Also bear in mind that it was actually quite a bit of work organising everything (a lot more than I was expecting).

The "bling" factor is part of the motivation to have an Atomic Carbon front tower to match the rear.. Besides the bling, I like how much easier it is to mount and remove the shocks from a carbon fiber tower - just one threaded nut instead of removing an entire screw.. The carbon fiber towers also allow the shocks to have a little more play at the top which is also a bonus for easy unrestriced shock action.
I'm still hoping we can convince Jonathan to make a front tower. I would still love to have one
i4n - can you give me any advice on what we need to approach Jonathan with a proposal? How many buyers would be required to make it worth his time and effort? Thanks.
