Trek - Rivendell gene splicing, or DIY Roscoe project

[Mark in Beacon]

Kidding, of course, but I did integrate a Rivendell fork with a Trek 750 Multitrack frame. It completes the lugs for the Trek, while at the same time likely featuring the most uglifying paint job of an RBW fork currently in existence. If you are interested in more details, I did a much longer post on iBob.  Here is the link:

No, 26" Rat Traps (see ibob for more info. Converting to 650b did not move the parameters enough (too high bb, snug standover, something to put my Rat Trap Pass tires on).
