Monark Crescent Track - The Big Swede

Had some photos of the new forks from Jake:

I went for Reynolds fork blades and 'plug style' drop outs. I'm very pleased with the look of the flat crown, but I've asked for the brake mount to be filed back as its a bit intrusive. Once that's done they'll be ready to pick up!

woof!

I also received these today:

Some very quick snaps from my phone, I'll do more proper ones tonight.

Jake, removing the big ugly brake boss:

Detail of the inside of the fork, with the silver solder:

aaaaaand a very quick build shot:

As i said proper ones coming tonight.

That looks great, flat crown suits the frame well.

Cheers, I'm very pleased

Nice!

Is the brake mount less conspicuous now?

Yeah they look great... I'm trying to visualize this in my mind, but I think they might look amazing left to rust a little then oiled?

Yes, its much more like the front of the original one:

Pic's as soon as I get out of work.

I've been wondering about this too....

I guess if you don't like it you can always get them blasted and p coated to match the frame?

Yeah, i've still got the gold paint too.

Paint the inner crown details in gold and leave the rest raw? Awww bb....

^this

I missed all this changes to the bike. Last time I've seen it, it was blue. Good work, Spotter!
Another vote for leaving forks raw.

Cheers Pepe!

Painted gets my vote, its too nice to rust.

Sptr pls can de-logo stem.

Headset too, while you at it :)

Was going to add that....

Trialing a Flite, more a more classic look.

Also the rust is setting in a bit on the forks, looks ratty, I don't mind it actually.

headset logo alignment fail

meh

I'm thinking that I might ditch the fix, and get a SRAM automatix, bmx pedals and a wald basket.
