  Ouch! Great timing, well done.

  Mine was 3 weeks before me and my girlfriend were due to start travelling for a year. I'm basically back to normal now - some stiffness when I'm out of the saddle but nothing major. Pleasantly surprised but still a little nervous. We only got back from travelling a couple of weeks before lockdown and I hadn't been on a bike since the injury.

  No way? Mine was Jan 2019 so we might have been hobbling around at the same time.
  Hope you're back to normal by now : )

  I don't know about the Paul studs thing - what happened?

  Like I said, I chose Winston because he knows what he's doing, and I won't be doing anything he's not happy with.

  The question atm is more about fork blades than head tubes:
  If stainless, disc-specific fork blades actually exist then we'll use them... If not then we'll look at non-stainless options, and finally rim brakes. Winston's going to ask Ceeway and Reynolds what the options are (including if they'd consider a one-off order) but tbh I'm not getting my hopes up. It's an unusual request so he hasn't had to look into it before.

  Either way, a 1"HT should be fine on a smaller frame like this (roughly 53 x 53).

  Stainless makes sense because it doesn't rot, and discs work better in the wet. I broke my femur last year so I'm more risk averse than you might think! I've looked into disc fork options a bit and even with a 1 1/8th steerer there are surprisingly few. I could go tapered but that really is too far away from the traditional-looking frames I love. This is going to be a bike that gets used all year round so it needs to be suitable, but of course for 6k I also have to love it, and that is partly about looks. If I was all about practicality then I'd go off-the-peg, but I love craftsmanship and wanted something special made with a bit of love.

  No idea if it'll be any good but it was a fun project.
