I was thinking about it. Would normal paint be too fragile? Figured plastidip would be better. And reversible

.

Anyone know of a 1inch/non tapered carbon disc fork for my all city nature boy disc?

its 1 1/8 not 1" for sure!

Sorry, does that mean I have to get a fork that is 1 1/8 no tapered?

exactly

Thanks! =)

@HoKe just done this search myself.

Kinesis do one

Or if you're braver than me there are a few on eBay from China\Taiwan:

The eBay one looks like it won't have much clearance. Probably intended for road disc frames

Oops good point, I was looking for my CX so only needed clearance for 35c

Would that kinesis fit an all-city macho man disc?

Don't know how it compares with the original fork height/rake-wise but Whisky Parts do full carbon with hidden mudguard eyelets. I have one, it's nice to ride but not to look at, it's also a little pricey.

You just can't stay away from crabon :-D

Have you replaced the bars & seatpost yet?

I am also looking for a similar fork. If you would be interested we could do a group order with Orlowski and get something similar to what Bankiren has on his Kaffenback. I also found this fork on aliexpress.

On topic:

ENVE grd / CX disc, you know u wanna

Yes they would fit. Macho man disc forks are 1 1/8 non tapered, just like the kinesis forks.

Building a bit of a beater/shopper atm, didn't like the condition of these forks i bough so rawed them down, and stole this idea (and the glittery nail varnish) from @PhilDAS

Wound Up CX Disc! B/c they're the best looking
@FredyCro I'd definitely be interested if a group order was placed

Hey @edscoble,
I have a shimano 8 speed MTB cassette and 10 speed campag ergos, apparently these should mesh reasonably well. Does it matter, in your experience, if I use a shimano road rear derailleur rather than a MTB one (purely in terms of shifting)?

Link?

What can I say? I love crack! ;)

I actually got a -17 Thomson stem yesterday! So pro!

I don't think it will fit, plus its looks rather chunky!

Does looks rather tasty!

younare right, didnt realise they wwere solely tapered

Good work. Lets see the whole shbang
