Re:

Thank you, it is necessary to be precise so that the fork is reliable and symmetrical.
Following the manufacture, cutting session...

It remains to check the adjustments, strip the bond areas and bonded on a jig.

This actual work on retro parts fit so well with the Newsboy

Re:

Brave operation with the fork bonding! I guess it was a lucky coincidence that the Ti legs fitted over the steel crown? Did you have to alter the diameters of the different tubes in any way?

Re: Merlin Newsboy #75

Thanks, I have made this fork with a Kona P2 and Litespeed first generation lower :roll:

I hope you will not mind...

Are you taking orders? Got the same broken titanium fork and a P2 is easy to come by...

Cheers

Re:

Great bike and effort. May i ask why you didn't build the homemade fork with RC mounts so you can RC brakes on both sides?

Best regards

Why ?
Because I do not have RC in stock and I really do not like these brakes.
This is not practical, it holds the mud and braking is not terrible.
These brakes are like many mythical things (Ringlé, ...)
