Another issue when lifting is all that added weight has to be controlled on
a fork trying to flop around on you. I've owned a couple bikes with big

That looks structural to me. My vague recollection is those forks got
beefed up after the first run of Appaloosas so you might want to contact
Riv about background on this.
If the 57 and 58 Appas use the same size wheels then the new fork should
fit.

Yes you can reuse (if they're not cut too short) the stays on the bike. You
probably have rubber caps on the ends you'll need to remove, then you can
slide them off the old fenders and onto the new ones.

You got me curious about the Crust wheels because I'm wishing now that I'd
built my custom with a dynohub, so took a look. Note that the rear spacing
is 130, my custom and most Rivs use 135. I don't know what frame you're
building up so thought you should be aware of this.
On Friday,
I can't comment on the Shimano comparison but I've used Silver1 and 2 as
bar-ends and liked that long blade better. The way you can drop your whole
hand and pull up on the ratcheting direction with your two rear fingers
(pinkie and the other one) can't be beat for friction shifting.

The hiccup with converting a Romulus to 650B is you aren't starting with
short-reach calipers that can be swapped for Tektro R559, the brakes you
have now (probably labeled Shimano, no model name) are mid-reach. It can be
done with some centerpulls which you'll need cable hangers for.

Yeah that AR looks like the 52cm I had, which also had the dreaded owner's

If it fits with the rack on I'd leave it, that structure provides some
protection for the fork against crush damage. Put some foam or pipe

Looks like the ridged washers that come on road caliper brakes. Sometimes
you don't need them and they end up piling up at the shop, I imagine that's
how they ended up on your bike.

52-53cm actual ST. Also it's titanium, I owned one for a while that was too
small but hoo boy was that a nice ride!
