A bit OT, but is that fork rated for a rack?

The fork has rack eyelets, that's all I know. I assume it's been designed to take a typical load.
If you intend to tour with it, I'd like to point out that the threads on the rear rack mounts (seat stays) were knackered so I drilled it to attach a rack with a much sturdier through bolt.
I did tour on it (about 1000miles) and it's been brilliant, though I would not tour SS/Fixed again, at least not fully laden (too hard on the knees). The forks drive the steering with precision, the relatively high rake makes it very lively and absorbs a lot of the bumps and vibration.Oh and I forgot, I replaced the rear brake bosses with Titanium ones!

It's very tempting. Wish there where more forks available like this. But too many spesh bikes in the stable and no funds. glws :)

It's carbon by the way, you can't really see the weave on the picture.

i think medium....
i have a feeling 54 would be too big.. -
• #12
it's a size 54, but the top tube being sloping, the seat tube is actually smaller, I'll measure it tonight but I think it would be about the same size as a medium Pompino.

I shall measure the pomp I have.

Pomp is a medium. Baby blue.

yeah that's going to be too small sorry

No worries. After a bit of a think, I was starting to wonder why I'd decided to swap it. I quite like it!
Frame for sale in good condition, I built it up to a great bike which I loved riding, but it's a bit small for me and I'm buying a geared bike. the plan is to rebuild an SSCX bike that is my actual size later.
I'd like £100 for it ONO
