Hi!
I've got this On One 456 that I'm keen to build up into a rigid XC type thing. I'd first laid my eyes on a couple of Surly fork options, being sturdy steel and having mounting points. My main inspo was this pic from the internet, using a Surly Karmpus fork. Since then, I've built up this Marin for commuting and light MTB, which has now made me keen to build the 456 into something lighter and more fun.
The Surly forks are 1200g, whereas a carbon alternative could be half of that. Keen to find something that has mounting points, so I could run double bottle cages up front while still rocking a frame bag for potential bikepacking. What I need is:
If anyone has advice or ideas, please share. If anyone thinks I'm being silly and should just go for the Surly forks, then please tell me so.
