Nice. Yes obviously you're right about the fork.
Things are shaping up, either acquired, ordered, or in process...
Fork: Fog cutter cro-mo (QR dropouts)
Rear hub: White Industries XMR QR 135 Shimano (silver)
Front hub: SP PD-8 dynohub (silver)
Rims: Stans 2017 Grail X
Crankset: IRD 46/30 square taper (silver, and gorgeous IMO)
Brakes: TRP HY/RD cable actuated hydraulic (black)
FD is undecided but now that I've picked the crankset I can work on that.
Cassette gearing and RD choice to follow. I'm thinking 11-28 will be low enough.
Fenders are TBD. Soma's website says matching fenders are available, but no response to my emails thus far.
Tires I'm thinking Rene Herse Barlow Pass
Meanwhile I'm having a heck of a time finding a place to face and chase the BB and face the head tube. Shops are slammed, the co-ops are closed. I had an appointment today at one shop, arrived to find it closed due to illness. I have contacted a local frame builder, so we'll see.
