Today was a good day! I decided a few months ago to get clydesdale fork, mainly for carting around doggo/basketball+shoes/other miscellaneous items, then looked up how much they cost and decided not to. Eventually I thought fuck it I want it. But decided if I'm willing to spend that much I'll to ask my mate if he'll build me some as gives him business and custom shit is cool. (plug my guy real quick https://www.lordcycles.co.uk/)
Today Chris dropped off the forks + the frame with matchy matchy paint. So cargo/dogmobile is a go.
Frame is a Raleigh Montage. Basically bought because i like the lugged/classic look and was hopeful there might be clearance for big tyres due to crimps in chainstays. Could fit 2.3 DTH's off the rockhopper (barely) but as I'd decided to go for repaint anyway gave it an extra lil ghetto crimp to be sure.
New paint is RAL 7047. Powder coaters didn't do the best job to be honest but will do.
