Great riding frame. Barely clears 35s. And 1inch forks are like hens teeth. I’m glad someone here will be riding it.

Wow nice looking build. Is that a White Industries crankset?

I'm thinking of doing a 1x build of some kind. Plan to actually race it next year when we have racing again.

GLW the search and getting it on the road & trails.

Looks like Sram cranks with a wolf tooth chainring

And FWIW, I’ve never really liked the aesthetics of wound up forks, but looks proper on that frame. Can’t go wrong with an Alpha Q either. Had one on my IF Planet X and it was fantastic.

You need a Blacksheep Ti fork to go with that frame. I have one in that was custom made for me. It was the most comfortable bike I owed until my frame set cracked. If your interested in a Ti fork to match you Ti frame let me know.

I have a new Nashbar carbon CX fork in the hoard. I believe it's the same fork as the Winwood shown in Weisan's post above. Need to check and be sure that it's 1" though. I think Ritchey made a 1" carbon CX fork, so that's another to be looking for.

The Soma fork looks to be well-made and overall nicely done. It's also fairly affordable, which translates into being kinda heavy. I think it's a great value, but considering the frame you're mating it with, if you decide to go with steel you might want to look for something lighter.
