It is a work in progress and still in prototyping phase. I can basically change anything except for the position of the three holes. Please give me any ideas on what i should change to make it better/ more appealing.

Roland,you've put the clamp pinch bolts on the outside,makes it look like the ears of a tiki from the South Pacific.
A couple of flared nostrils just above the mouth would finish it off for me. :riding:


Seriously,I would reconsider the pinch bolt position.They can be inside and almost no influence on the aesthetic.i.e. Hidden.

I was considering doing that. Ill give it a shot but the reason i have them out there is because it is easier to machine when the are on the same horizontal plaze with eachother. I will try and post a pic when i am done

It's no fun if it's easy! I've been designing some triple clamps too(upper and lower), but I think it will be a bit before I get around to machining them. Good luck on yours!

Quick question, would you know what the offset is for the triple clamps? I am working on a project with 17" wheels and need something in the 45mm range. And fork diameter?
Thanks!
