i have a custom fork made by orlowski for my pompino and it's 380mm , i always had problem with the seat tube being to slack with a 400mm fork. with the 380 the bike handle muche better for me and the builder said there is space for 40mm tyre.

great bike, earlier someone posted here pompino with omnium cxc fork and afair they are 380 a-c too
-

Yes the cxc seem a good option if you have disc brake. i never had the original fork because i think it's incredibly ugly

If you will go to 400mm aren’t there a few stick forks that’d be cheaper?

too flexy ;)

It's 395, ifbi remember the spec sheet - check the all city website - so it's bang on.
Might be discontinued but they definitely do the same fork for a different frame that you can still get

Fair. Personally I'd go for a shorter stem, but hey even with a slightly shorter fork it'll ride like a bike. Not to my taste (geo) but not outrageous I guess.
Your build looks sick by the way

There 's very few stiff, straight, disc, steel, good looking forks. I kinda like salsa vaya but cant find it anymore, perhaps soma. Rychtarski is local business, 200 km away from home, not that much more expensive.

Surly forks? Straggler etc? Wrong rake?
-

They don't have straight legs, I know it's stupid but I dont like how it looks especialy with disc brakes. Straight fork looks much better, IHMO, with pompino frame. Other than looks surly forks would be great
-

Fair enough.
I’m the other way, prefer curve to straight but that’s more for comfort than looks.

My new Seqouia Elite cracked at the chainstay and is in on Warranty Claim so I'm looking at fitting my Pomp with a dropbar. Is it still Tektro RL520 that is the go to for dropbar v-brake?

I confirmed fork specs with frame builder, lugeed, straight, rake 45, a-c 400, mudguard mounts, low rider rack mount, cablestop, disc brake mount. I will post pics when it arrives.
Only thing left is color choice. Has anyone identified v4 classic blue color? -

PX may be able to help. Their customer service can be spotty, but i've called them in the past and they've been helpful.

Blue frame, black fork will look better. Big risk of the fork looking shit if its even a shade or two off
-
• #7371
I wrote PX last week but no answer so far. What Turkish said is right, one shade off and it looks bad. I'm not a big fan of those glossy black forks, I'm thinking about graphite gray or something close to black or satin black. Any suggestions?

"chrome" it with some silver christmas decoration spray

I love the double crown of nature boy. It looks longer than 400mm, right?
