Would you buy a crust cargo fork if you had an alien frame

No I would buy a new 1" threadless fork and a matching headset, leave the steerer uncut, then run a 50mm Paul stem atop a big ol stack of spacers with these impossibly wide dirt drop bars that Curve sent me.

i would then install these moto lites, buy some v-brake-friendly drop bar levers, and use my 26er eno wheel to make it a fixed gear.

then i would remove the front rack from the marino enforcer and the wald basket from the back of my 2002 honda elite and apply both to my new alien.

i would then look at my new alien for a bit, feeling that mix of pride and shame that only building horrific bikes can offer, hang it on a wall and watch 30 rock until i fall asleep.

Is this the first or 2nd senko?

I was getting emails about fire department activity at my storage unit over the past few days and thought “hell yeah free me from all this bike junk”.

Unfortunately I don’t think there was actually a fire.

First, had some mods done over winter and was talked into a fresh paint job.

I have these thoughts about almost all of my stuff. Leave me a couple of bikes and my cat, as a treat.

V1 had inadequate tire clearance which was a error on my part.

Shoutout to @Face for being a cool guy.

I just finished a frame for a former coworker and I guess probably now a former friend. No screw ups on my part or the painter, just someone who seems to be wholly unappreciative of me using my spare time to make him a custom frame at a fraction of the market price for such a thing.
