Wald line item was the bigger one Rivendell sells. If I really did a
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
Also not saying it isn’t a good deal. It is. It just ended up over 2x the price
to get it functioning on a bike. Ive actually been keeping an eye out for
another one to hoard. It’s that good of a product.

I think that’s overly optimistic pricing, but I guess it depends on what you

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.
I cannot endorse the crust cargo fork more highly. It’s actually opened up
venues of riding and erranding that I didn’t fully realize bikes could do in a
convenient way. Also it rides exceptionally normal.
That said, by the time you install with a new wheel/tire/brakes/basket etc,

It certainly seems to be popular. Every time I have money to buy one it's

Not to say the rider's bike is not artful because it is. With a disc up
front, v-brakes in the rear, it makes me think there was some tinkering and
work going on. Oh, and I am assuming low trail(!), though
