The spacing of the down tube panels was determined by the fibonacci sequence...seriously.

A couple of forks ready for the nickel plating. Look similar, but functionally, radically different. Custom is as custom does.

FNL5a.jpgFNL5b.jpg
Fork for small woman's sport bike; 52mm rake, Deda light blades, trimmed from the top for thinner taper. Comfortable and stable.

FNL5c.jpgFNL5d.jpg
Fork for a track frame; 38mm rake, Columbus SP blades, trimmed from the bottom. Super stiff, immobile.

1.125" steerer with a 1.0" crown (on the track fork).
