Merlin Newsboy #75 with home made fork

Re: Newsboy #75

the bike with the fork is stunning, great build, I like it, but the saddle :(
 
Re:

So beautiful!

The saddle is better than that horrible WTB with its broken nose. Just needing to remove those red decals :)

I do not agree with you Pierre, she has a little red touch like Newsboy's headbadge.

… but it's Specialized logo :?
 
Re:

Specialized has equipped many competing brands, Ritchey or WTB has done the same. They are equipment manufacturers.

That fork compliments it perfectly.

Thanks, I have made this fork with a Kona P2 and Litespeed first generation lower :roll:

I hope you will not mind... :oops:

Re:

First step, correctly finish the top of the broken fork: machining, internal sanding and polishing before bonding.
