No toe overlap can be a beautiful thing!
I was thinking of doing the same by getting a 40mm rake fork. We'll see. I went Keirinesque

I'm pretty sure the Windsor Hour fork is 40mm rake stock
You could maybe get one from bikes island that is 38mm

They look a lot better with a threaded setup. Do they come with the option of threaded or threadless?

Actually, their site says you get no choice, but I've determined that it depends on the size you need vs what they have in stock. The new shipments have threadless setups. Originally I wanted a threadless but now I'm happy with the threaded.

Threaded looks a lot nice i think, it still gives it that older classier look

i just noticed the stock wheel is flip flop... im thinking of maybe adding a 17t or 18t cog on the free side. Any recommendations as to which brand i should opt with (as well as lockring). Do I need to get another chain or is it ok to run on the stock one?

You can use the same chain, you just have to figure out if its 1/8" or 3/32". Its more than likely 1/8" so just make sure to order a 1/8" cog. I dont really know much about cog brands and everything. Ive heard Soma are good. And Dura Ace but they dont make them in any size bigger than 16t. Be sure to get a good quality lockring though and make sure its tightened down super tight.

the matte Grey ended looking better than the white. More of a gunmetal. Kinda made me glad they were out of stock.

thanks for the advise. Im currently looking at a milwaukee 18t cog + lockring combo. Any of you had any experience with this set up?
