Fork question...
So I'm looking into continuing to build up my conversion Fuji Del Rey until all that's left is a new frame to be bought. Probably a Leader 725, but we'll see. As of right now, my Del Rey has a threaded fork and headset. My question is, can I put a 1 1/8 headset and fork on this frame? I'm a complete n00b when it comes to this stuff but I need some guidance.
I'm looking into carbon fiber forks, since I want the end result of my fixie to be as light as possible, but w/in my budget. I don't wanna spend more than $100 on a fork, but idk where the deals on forks are online. I haven't seen anything on craigslist lately either.
Can you guys give me suggestions on what I should get, and also when? I'm kinda sick of my dropout bars, but don't wanna get bullhorns until I get a threadless stem and headset so I don't have to re-tape my bars every time I wanna swap them. The leader I05 fork looks nice, but can't seem to find one for under $100...
What's left on my "wishlist" are: bullhorn bars, carbon fork, threadless headset, threadless stem, a light seatpost, smaller chainring (running a 52-17 right now. yikes!), crankset, and a hot matte-black frame.
Any advice?
