Description

This wonderful unicrown, straight legged MTB fork was expertly built by master craftsman Dave Yates out of Reynolds 531 tubing. The fork, like all of Dave’s work, is highly refined and has never been fitted, it is supplied with a coat of primer to protect the finish and Reynolds 531 fork and ‘DY’ decals for whatever paint job you require. The Straight, tapered legs are fitted with ‘Allez’ dropouts including mudguard eyelets, the minimal unicrown fork crown is drilled and threaded for a mudguard or cable hanger too. The fork has a 1″ diameter British threaded steerer which is 200mm long so will work with plenty of frames (and can of course be trimmed down), cantilever or V brake bosses and is for a standard 100mm OLN hub. It is not suspension adjusted with a 385 mm axle to crown length.

Probably built to go with one of his exceptional custom MTB frames such as a DONKIS NOB or Vulcan this came directly from the man himself after he had hung up his torch.
