When I built my first Spaceframe in 2003 I used 4130 cromo.
2003 Jones 4130 single speed frame
I’ve been asked many times about the possibility of a steel Truss fork and Spaceframe and I’ve been wanting to build a set for a while.
The fork went together well.
It’s heavier than the titanium Truss but it’s lighter than the more normal steel Fat fork.
Just before the first test ride.
The front to back stiffness is very good like the Ti Truss. It feels very similar.
I’m enjoying working with the metal. It reminds me of my days back at the GT factory. 4130 was used for most of the BMX frames, forks and bars there. Good stuff and not too expensive.
