7005 all-road frame with steel fork for New Jersey

A couple of unique things with the fork- there's an integrated cable stop for the front brake. I think this is the first one I have ever done- learned a couple things in the process. There's also some braze-ons for bottle cages on the fork legs. I have only done this a few times.


While the aluminum frame with the steel fork is a little unusual, it isn't that rare of a build for me.There's some riders on the east coast who request this build. My first aluminum CX bike had a steel fork so the idea is not a new one, rather it is a bit of a blast from the past.
