Picked up this old Shelby frame in November, and the tank this month. Trying out a Sunlite springer fork, but that upper perch blocks so much of that cool head badge...

Maybe I will try an old Schwinn fork instead. If I can find a 24" one with a long enough steerer, I can squeeze a 26" with a smallish tire up front. I like the minimalistic look of those Ashtabula legs.
 
That bike desires a fork that would show the head tube off! Maybe an unspringed blade fork or a Shockmaster springer?

Yeah, I am leaning toward a blade style fork, myself. I am thinking about something short, so I can just squeeze a 26x1.75 tire in there. Either that or a 27" one with a 700c wheel up front.
