Had another play around with BikeCAD. I need to measure up the geo properly and then actually try some different forks, but as best I can tell the original geo assumes 400mm a-c. Which is a bit of an awkward length.
I'd like to get a custom fork made up. Segmented forks are obviously the coolest, and all the best bikes have them, like my Saracen, obvs. I would like the fork not to be as bone-jarringly stiff as the one on the Saracen, however. Basically I'd like a rip-off of Sklar's handiwork.
I noticed Transition's 'cross bike has a pretty rad segmented fork, and it's 395 a-c, however I'm not sure if the tyre clearance would be enough, or if I could even get one on its own.
I also don't know what colour this imaginary fork should be. Red works, but colour-matching, ugh. Maybe it should just be sparkly purple.
