Bit of an update, turned two steerers today, one to suit external headsets and one with a small dimension change to better suit the integrated headset I'm going to try as I'd prefer to use a bmx style headset. No real reason for this other than aesthetics, and because I feel like overcomplicating everything.
Integrated version on the left, external on the right
Top edge camfer:
Looking to gather materials for the rest of the build, few ideas below:
Fork - probably going with four fork legs as ovalised tubing is a pain to get hold of at a decent price in this size. Crown will be twin plate milled from 6mm steel, this should keep the fork nice and rigid and provide enough support for the steerer.
Spine - Ideally tapered tubing from 40mm to 30mm ish, probably just going to be straight tubing though
Rear fork - going to find a straight blade road fork and cut the legs off at the length I need and try to braze to original crown
More to come as and when I make something or it crosses my mind
