Well this was a pretty simple uni-crown fork that Debi asked me to make for her. I used stainless drop out inserts for a polished finish at the drops.
Below is before and after of the drops after removing the rack tabs and brazing on the stainless inserts...
Here are all the parts before assembly and brazing...
The drop outs fitted into the fork legs...
I went through 2 drill bits to finally get the crown drilled for the brake bolt...
here is my home made paint booth, it actually did such a good job I feel like I could paint a whole frame in it... but I think I will come up with a bigger booth for that...
The white above is the direct to metal primer coat... and the black below is the base coat for the deep black finish.
The final coat of black color before the clear coat goes on...
Here is the fork crown after clean up with the clear coat finish and the brake bolt installed...
The drop outs with a polished finish...
And lastly a few shots Debi took of the fork installed on here bike... Looks pretty good. I like the pencil thin fork legs, this fork looks fast!
Debi's mechanic said the fork went on with out a hitch... like it was built for the frame. Well... it actually was built for the frame.
Well I enjoyed making this fork and it looks like I have another one to build for a new customer.
I will update it soon.
