I would still be interested at that price cause that’s still miles more affordable than the alternatives.
Might be worth it using forks anyway to make them more customisable.. ie, straight legged bmx style is a lot more suited to mtb use, where classic touring forks with a bit of rake would work well for more road oriented frames.
So I've been thinking about a small run and how I could do that.
I've maybe shot myself in the foot a bit by selling this one so cheaply but it was a bit of an experiment and based on a fork and materials I had spare and I bought the fork a while ago and have made use of it so I didn't factor in any cost for that, only my labour and to be honest, not even really covering that.
The cheapest way for me to do more is to work with a donor fork as I can buy suitable forks for less than the parts and labour to build one. With this design there is really nothing to be gained by building the 'base' fork either.
I think that realistically I'd be needing to charge more in the region of £120-£150 for them if I were to do any more.
Would anyone still be interested at that kind of pricing?
