Trek 1120 Forks
Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2019 10:03 pm
So I've just acquired a nice titanium frame. Well, its not actually in my possession yet but at some point the postie will pop it through the letter box. Obviously I'm getting pretty excited about putting it together and I am wanting a pretty carbon fork for it.
I've read all the forum topics you can shake a stick at and the obvious choice is a prong. I go onto the Travers site only to find that the version with cargo cage mounts is out of stock. Doh! Not actually a deal breaker, but I like the idea of anything cages. Never used them in practice, but the idea seems sound.
So I'm browsing other options, many of which seem crazy expensive, and as the frame I'm getting, a sonder broken road, has a pretty tall head tube I'm doubting finding a second hand one with a long enough steerer. (The frame was second hand, I'm a cheapskate. It comes with being from Aberdeenshire).
After exhausting options I find this: https://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/frames-f ... msQAvD_BwE
(Excuse the crazy long link)
It looks pretty nice. I kind of like the look of the little rack thing trek make for it. Its gonna be a bit heavier than the prong as it has an alloy steerer. It has cargo cage mounts. There's really not much info on it anywhere.
Anyone have one? Or have any opinions? Will I forever be disappointed I didn't get a prong?? Sorry if this has already been talked about in one of the numerous rigid carbon fork threads!
