Apologies for the lack of updates on this, I've been shifted to design office/testing at work now, and it was sooner than expected so getting stuff done at work became impossible.
@drøn hopefully the fork crown plates will be machined next week, they are programmed into a 2 axis mill and i just need a couple of hours free to run down to the workshop and get them done, if not I'm going to bore the tight steerer tolerance out of two plates, then mark, drill and file the fork leg holes on a pillar drill (1" fork legs).
The forks are the crux of the project, as once they are confirmed and together I can get working on spine radius/length
@Skülly thanks! I'll have a look at what Ted's doing, I'm open to any ideas as I'm fairly clueless, but I like building things that are completely impractical and dangerous....
On the tyre front, I'm going to try and get an uncut length of solid tyre from someone that makes them, but that's going to be a problem I'll worry about later on.
I do have pictures of something I've been playing with recently, unfortunately it's not for my build but I'm sure will be of interest, will upload later today.
