Is the third plane in a triplane the fork equivalent of Rivendell’s extra top tube?

any planes are on that spectrum already

if you’re going to all that trouble to cut, bend, and heat treat a custom crown… make a Potts Type II out of normalized tube instead

triplane might let him use plates that aren’t so fuckin thick, but it’s still willfully fop

[quote=EddBread][quote]Hey Ed,

The stock forks are stock and priced accordingly. I have plans for a rando version of the triplane with offset blades for later this fall. It will be priced like the other custom triplanes, but built by me in my shop, around $1000. Triplanes are custom and sourced from a number of different places including NOS true temper steerers, custom drawn and butted blades, 3d waterjet and heat treated crowns, paragon hardware.

Thanks for the interest. Keep you eyes peeled for the new skinny versions of triplanes.

Best  
Cjell[/quote]

Wat[/quote]  
I’ll make you that for for $900

This does it for me. The last couple of generations of XTR I havent’ really been into aesthetically. But this, this is real nice.
