Straight steerer 1 1/8” chinesium carbon fork with a/c and rake matching to original fork was also painted to match the bike.
Pics of the modifications please! It looks like a brace is brazed into the left dropout?...and what style brake mount is used? Was the head tube replaced in order to accept a 1 1/8 steerer?
Did you do the modifications or a builder? Who was it if it wasnt you?
And why did you go this route instead of a new bike?


Super interested as that is a really creative project.
