Stunning build! The speed that you get things done is impressive. This is motivating me to start building mine up and maybe a 'three Klein's' ride in the near future. Not sure if this interview with Gary Klein has been posted already but he does mention the Top Gun and Paramount trademark fiasco...
The bike gods came to the rescue. During this thread discussion a local FB Marketplace listing popped up with a 1" Pep with 145mm of steer tube. Thanks for everyone's input. Looks like I'll get to keep my teeth
Just going off an idea from the machinist I met with yesterday. He has used this technique on motorcycle forks in the past but never bicycle forks. Ideally I would get a donor fork, cut off its steerer have the shop machine a sleeve and weld (like how Paul Brodie did in one of his videos) but I...

I went to a local machine shop and the guy said that he could machine a solid steel spacer that would sleeve into the steerer...

1997 Marzocchi Bomber Z1 in excellent shape for $30 CAD. Seller included 3 sets of NOS springs. Couldn't be happier and I've always wanted to rebuild one of these
This W002 was buried in a box for 25 years. I remember getting it for Christmas when I was 12. Not sure if I should get a new strap for it or what. Its a smaller size watch than I typically wear
