[RBW] Re: Get This Man A Rivendell
yes, if you start with a Rivendell with 1" threaded then there's more stuff to buy. My Specialized was already 9/8" threadless and already had a front brake, so I wouldn't have needed a stem, brake or headset. My $24 Huge Wald line item was the bigger one Rivendell sells. If I really did a Crust fork I might just bolt a leather barcalounger to it. Or a keg.

It definitely matters how much stuff you already have hanging around. The Crust fork primarily - in my opinion - exists for people who already have an old mtb wasting away in the garage in need of a new mission. Oddly, I have a new 20" disc front wheel wasting away that was left over from an abandoned recumbent adventure.

[RBW] Re: Get This Man A Rivendell
Drw said "by the time you install with a new wheel/tire/brakes/basket etc, you’ll be wa over 250$" In my case, I decided to convert a late-1990s mountain bike into a college beater for my son. The bike was "free". It was an aluminum Specialized with a shock. 3x9 drivetrain, rim brakes. For the conversion I chose: a rigid front fork: $90 at Jenson a simworks potluck front rack: $198 (but I already had it) Wald medium basket: $20 Sackville Shopsack: $70 Solid bolt/on front and rear axles: $70 from Wheels Manufacturing (but I already had them) My labor: $free So for the value of $448 I converted a decent mountain bike into a far more useful utility college bike. In retrospect I could have done a Crust cargo fork: $245 BMX front wheel: $50 (guessing used from a BMX shop or other sources) Wald Huge basket: $24 Solid rear axle: $35 (since the front would already be bolt-on) For $354 I could have made a cargo bike. It would have been over $100 cheaper if I had the foresight. Given that a Pass and Stow porteur rack is $280, it makes that cargo fork again really attractive. Now if you started with an early 90s rigid mountain bike, then you don't have to buy a fork to make it utility. If you run the WALD paperboy rackless setup, then perhaps you don't have to buy a good rack. My point is that the price of the project depends on where you start and where you want to end up, but $245 for a fork PLUS a bomber cargo rack is a steal.
