I bought a Fuji frame from a fellow forum member. This was a frame w/ no fork (which I usually do *not* do, but....) and it is made for an integrated tapered 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 fork. I had a friend who owns a bike shop order an Trek closeout fork that seemed to match the spec I need, but alas I may have a problem with clearance around the fork crown race (?) area...so, looking at other options, it sounds like using an adaptor so I can use a straight 1-1/8 fork opens up a world of decent opportunities (and not blow my 'low cost' operative for this build). Just curious if anyone has any helpful insight from experience on going that route to share.
