Personally I wouldn't change anything colourwise, but I agree that from a performance point of view swapping to a rigid fork would be a great move. They're great rigid.

except for the chunky ATAC stem, I could see your point.

Hello all, well I received my waltworks custom segmented fork yesterday and got her all installed today. I figure that 7 weeks of wait time (and it should have shorter but walt's powder guy had a compressor that went down so it delayed things a few weeks) vs. 12 mos. plus at some of the other custom fork guys out there. Anyway, I'm very pleased with the results. Listed below are some new pics.
Other changes that I made are:
* 1"King threadless headset
* 1" Cable hanger
* 1" Syncros Cattleprod Stem (ahead)
* Shimano BL-M733 Brake Lever (NOS)
* Mavic M231-CD Rims in dark Grey (NOS)

The other items I have planned is to re-annodize all of the blue parts to black and then swap out the pedals. So I'm close

The maiden voyage is probably going to be Sunday (my wife should be so please on Mother's day!-ha)
