Speaking of Stridsland. I've been chipping away at this MTB frame and fork mod over the summer.
This guy approached me a while back and said all the right things about supporting your local framebuilder etc. I took the bait and here I am putting disc tabs on a gas pipe 26er and chopping perfectly fine Pipe Dream 29er forks to fit a 26" wheel.
I told him to buy a Stridsland fork, but he insisted I gave it a go and used this otherwise no good to him pair of forks.
Anyways, I cut out the swoopy bit and made a bi-lam segmented fork crown.
It all ended up a bit medieval but it fits the frame disc tab and over all idea very well :)
I was very skeptical about this to say the least, but you know what? I have actually been enjoying myself a bit with this. I quite like this kind of bricolage framebuilding. Make with what you have. It is liberating as it limits design choices to do what is right within the set boundaries.
