Talbot Four Seasons

Lol wat?

Excited to see what you end up with. I nearly went down a similar route, but have decided to put off discs until there is a single good standard which plays nice. Will revisit in a few years.

My Shand has guards and 35c tyres and I'm never going back!

Glad you went for the big tyre version!

Have you heard about 650b? #inb4scobes

Will revisit in a few years.

For the silver years

This is currently in construction but will be delayed because I am not satisfied with any available forks. Whisky No 9 with fender mounts is way expensive and out of stock for a while.

I've managed to get a Parlee Gravel fork at 30% off U.S. retail so will collect it when I am in Seattle in about a month. I have realised that this should be a no compromise build so it's gonna take slightly longer. And I'm okay with that. The Parlee is everything the Enve GRD should've been in my opinion.

Oh that's a damn nice fork

Where'd you get the Parlee?

So, Dura Ace?

Ultegra di2 I reckon.

Ultegra is a compromise

Everything is a compromise

this should be a no compromise build

Things you'll soon regret having said thread >>>>

Okay take that with a pinch of salt. Still not buying dura ace dov.

You'll regret this forever. This decision will reverberate through eternity.

Parlee Gravel fork

@Tenderloin isn't joking, that is a seriously well appointed fork!

I like where this is going.

Are you gonna paint the fork?

Post mount though FFS

Looks just like my Pinnacle fork

Yeah not ideal but not a deal breaker. Though I am now curious. Middle fork - I can't find it anywhere. But looks to be Parlee, flat mount, disc, mudguard mounts, thru axle. I dunno where it came from. Have asked a guy who will know.

The holy trinity can happen if you are ok with Chyna fork as a stop gap .. also Spork and Talbot Fork?

Spork ugly. Talbot fork eta unknown. Stop gaps, Chinese or otherwise>>>

In that case I'd just go PM. Parlee might even be VERY close to releasing a flat mount version tbh.

Yeah exactly, hence why I've asked the guy who's getting the fork for me. He might be able to ask for one from them.
