Couple shots of Jack’s fork

I seldom use these dropouts, but they’re neat (Paragon makes them). A cool look, though there’s no weight/cost/function advantage over a plug type dropout.

In any case, this one’s got lugs, a 1″ steerer, and canti bosses. Old school! It’s amazing how many old bikes with 1″ head tubes are still floating around out there and need new forks.

Oh, and this sucker (not pictured) has special-request NM state quarters for the caps on the blades. I’m happy to do that for anyone (any state you want) but you’ve gotta find the quarters – I’m not going to spend hours grubbing through loose change, much as I love y’all.
