[RBW] WTB: 20" front wheel for Crust Cargo fork

I pulled the trigger on a Crust Clydesdale fork. I'd been close each of the last several batch releases. I'm looking for a 20" wheel to complete the new front end. The fork will be adjoining an electrified Appaloosa double TT frame for maximum child carrying shenanigans. Leads to quality

Thanks Roberta. The Atlantis is very nice, different for me as I missed when Riv started with the longer chainstays. I wanted an Appaloosa but the standover is slightly more and I went with fit, same with Homer vs. Sam, the Sam May be a tad better fit, it may be similar to my Bleriot but fit

I believe there was a 650B Waterford Atlantis for a very short time before Riv stopped production then did the MIT frame, but most Waterfords will be 26" or 700C. Your frame looks like a 54.5 to me, my guess is you need to level your tape out get a true TT number. The actual tube will measure
