sweet, but it will be like 50£ to my door and that will eat up my budget :)

i think i will start with my extended fork and wait for a deal local her in stockholm!

If you're concerned about welding the steerer tube you could get one of these

Although I dare say you could easily manufacture something that does the same job.

Good luck, it's an interesting project, like others I wish I had the tools and skills for this sort of stuff.

Totally the way i would go. just build it as a sleeve then use the fork threadless

Some cool solutions out ha! That's pretty clever.

@thrust I've never used one but I reckon for circa £10 they'd give an extra level of "security" if you're concerned at all. There's not many things on a bike that you'd be happy with them failing but the issue with the steerer is that it's tricky to inspect.

On my way to remove all the paint..

Today i did some swap with a friend and came over this pair of wheels, now i need to find a 1" disc forks, i know they are on ebay sometimes :)

Why not just get a threadless 1" fork? Must be easier to get hold of...

The Exotic fork can be had for about £100. Bangin.

Oh I just read your bit about £50 being too much.

Oh boy. New paint day!

exotic forks are prob the ugliest ive ever seen, if i will spend 100£ i go for orlowski custom, same money!

Why not just disk tab a shitty gaspipe citybike fork??

does not look like a shitty gaspipe citybike fork...

nope, the whole point is thicker tubes to avoid this

YES! same A-C as og mtb forks.

So sick. I cant be the only one who wished you had kept the 'two bikes become one' paintjob

Tack för länken Erik!

If you've even seen the rattlecan paint jobs Bankiren does you wouldn't.

He's pro with a rattlecan.

Have done to many of those, its fun for while, i want this bike to look rad for low bucks ☺️

picked up these bars today, nitto 460mm.

brake kit.

I will pickup a postmount adapter tomorrow, after that its time to make a discbrake mount to weld on the frame :)

don't know if it fits, but I would try to get in inside the triangle for a cleaner look. What do you think?

first thing i try, not a single change to have space there..
