Party Fork - Nebula Theme One of one; signed by Curtis Bullock
Why I made this: I was recently in talks with a few component manufacturers, considering partnership to import and customize bicycle components. This series of forks was a test run to see if scaling the art production was going to be a sustainable activity on my end or if it would be better to have the forks painted at the manufacturer before import. In the end, the possibility (...inevitability) of shifting technical standards led us to not moving forward with the idea. But! The test pieces are now available to bring some flavor to your bike.
As an added bonus, because I got the forks for free, I am able to pass those savings along to you and set the asking price at what I charge for the paint alone.
This particular fork is slightly discounted because I accidentally left a little strip of white on the fork in a place it shouldn't be. It's not a huge error in terms of paint application or durability - just a little oopsie in the composition of the design.
Want to tweak the design on one of these forks? Want paint on a fork you already have? We can totally do that. Check out the 'Blank Canvas' option where we can start from scratch.
Technical Specs: 1-1/8'' to 1-1/2'' steer tube Flat crown is compatible with any headset crown race 12mm Thru axle (included) Flat mount brakes Internal brake hose routing 51mm rake 3 mounting points on each leg (bolts included) Non-threaded mounting hole through the crown 700X40 or 650X47 tire clearance 500g with paint and clear coat
Living with this piece: The smooth, matte clear coat feels really good under the fingers, but the texture of the paint still stands out just a little bit. If you've always wanted to touch the art in a museum, you're really going to love this feature of my work.
