Swapping forks is a...

Hey,

Recently finished a frame-up resto-mod of a Trek 520 from around 2005 or so. I'm looking for suggestions for full coverage fenders for the bike.

The issue is that the front fork doesn't...

I do like that one. At $1799 for the disc frame, it's not super likely to be under $3k. But I'll have to price it out.



For this bike, my preference is to buy new. I do normally buy used bikes...

I just built up a ~20 year old Trek 520 which uses these. Mine were the 9 speed Dura-Ace SL-BS77. I can't post URLs but you can google "SL-BS77".

That looks pretty cool. I think I'd stay with a traditional chain and cantilevers though.

I didn't realize there was only one distributor! I plan on buying my Rohloff from ebay directly from Germany. They run about ~$1100 that way.

Any more frame suggestions?

Thanks all!
