Hi guys. Im piecing together parts for my BTR build and Im wondering if anyone has experience with this. I have a Newsboy frame heading to my gas tank fabricator and Im wanting one of the heavy duty Monarch forks sold by Venice bikes ( as strentgthened and improved by Sportscarpat) Dude at Venice couldnt say if it would fit my steering head or work with a front mounted coaster /drum brake set up which is what I have. Pirate bikes is difficult to get hold of just now because of his brothers injuries. ( still shipping parts like a madman though! Got my parts in record time:) Thanks Dude ) Anyways: Anybody done one "O" them setups??? Do it work? Or do it need modification? Thanks in advance.

The latest batch of forks from Venice did not come from my shop. From what I hear they have some additional welding in the crown area by the manufacturer.
