We were going to trade full framesets but I wanted a front brake because I'm paranoid. His fork isn't drilled for one, so I was going to switch forks hahaha. The result would have been quite hideous, but temporary. Does that make sense?

I forget what fork he has.

I didn't want to buy a new fork yet, because we're trading temporarily to test out fitment. If we're both happy with it, then we'll make the trade permanent, and I'll buy one of your 1" straight blade forks. Do you have any pictures of that fork on a kilo?

Yes.
