Forkacopia


Wow, those colors look awful in this picture. I saw these three forks sitting in the finished-forks area (ie, leaned against the wall out of the way) and thought it was a funny contrast - small tire clearance track/fixie fork with no brake mount, snow bike fork with 110mm of tire clearance, and the 15QR fork I built for Ian. Every one totally weird, in a different way.

Often cameras will have pre-set white balances to help with the color based on the ambient light source, such as 'daylight', 'cloudy', 'florescent'.

I'm seeing a lot you forks with tapered blades - is that being driven by you or your customers?

A little from column A, a little from column B, really. I like the look and the way they ride for many "normal sized" folks, customers seem to feel the same way. I get requests for all sorts of different things, obviously, but the tapered are outnumbering the non-tapered pretty significantly at this point.

They look great. You wouldn't happen to make the track fork in a 24" would you? I need one for my pursuit bike and can't find any anywhere. Maybe you could point me in the right direction if you dont make them yourself. Thanks Walt

Hey ANDjob!

I can build you a 24" track fork, sure. Drop me a line.
