So 650x47 fits on the front fork. Rear needs smaller.

Thinking about replacing my Gangsta V2 fork, mainly as it does´nt accept "standard reach" 47-57 reach brakes. At least not Shimano r650 or Dia Compe brs 101. The brs 202 I currently have are not super nice even with nicer pads.

Mounts for mudguards would be a nice addition, Im open to both carbon and cro-mo options as well canti and/or caliper brakes.

It seems Easton EC70x/EC90x are quite a common candidate, however hard to find NOS and Im not super relaxed to buy a used one with unknown history.
Dont really like the look of the newer ones with curved blades.

Another is the Identiti FFX 45 . A bit more rake and a bit lower axle to crown measurement than the standard one.

Are there other options to look for?

Why not just get canti mounts and mudguard eyes put on the stock fork?

38mm panaracer Gks fit on the rear of the v4 with 2 mm of clearance

This is the post I've been waiting months for!

No worries!
I was supposed to build it like this from the start!

This is now my daily. 47/18, 38mm tyres, nitto bars with a slight sweep back COMFORT IS KEY! its pretty well handling too.

So goood!

Took this to New Forest over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it.

entering this thread is not good for my wallet. still want a large one

So sick

Super cool! I do think the bars are more comfortable on the wrist when rotated a little bit more inwards though

The more inwards they are the lower the drop, they’re super comfy for me rn but thank you!

bar ID?
