So, with forks arriving today along with the tube order submitted, shit is very much getting real!!
For a big old frame, the attached looks pretty well proportioned. Forks also look quality for the price - just over £140 including shipping and prepaid tax.
Thoughts now need to turn to cranks - I’m currently feeling Rotor - and the paint finish where I’m torn between plain colour (burnt orange or terracotta?) and some sort of fade (probably still including orange, maybe Tequila Sunrise?). Either way, I’m thinking leaving the fork as it is rather than matching to the frame as if I’m to make a choice I’ll regret it may as well be that
Decided to go with the slightly sloping too tube for a combination of “a bit more post will aid comfort” (will it even be noticeable with fat rubber?), stand over and aesthetics
