Which 1.125" cast fork crowns do you like?
- The problem I see is that most steel fork blades look like crap when combined with a 44mm head tube.
Here’s a link to my antidote to what may be your opinion regarding the visuals.
All components are larger and wider, and the fork itself isn’t an anchor.

A crown for 1.5" tapered steerer tubes is required.
Make one…or many.

Comes down to the discussion we’ve had in another thread re. casting vs. 3D printing. I know your opinion on what you’d prefer.
Earlier in this thread you suggest making three designs and letting builders vote.
In the same post you also say that a casting is expensive - which was my point exactly in the discussion about additive manufacturing.
So, make the three designs. Let builders vote. Maybe get some commitments to buy, then invest in the mould and get an order in for the MOQ. Hopefully it’s a viable investment that will bring joy and satisfaction to both yourself and many a builder who now finally will have access to cast fork crown for tapered headtubes.
Or, maybe if the investment cost is too high, it’s possible additive manufacturing could be a good option for low volume manufacturing of a very niche product.

A mold is currently in development, just to determine the cost of the project.

I vote for a 1.25" crown too, to match all those lovely EC37 headsets we’ve got. Now, how do I learn how to do a CAD…?
