Yes, the 3" tires will fit in a Abraham fork.
What kind of engine do you plan to put in it?? KW Machine Works has awesome billet engine mounts for 2-stroke engines for Felt bikes!

I'll probably put a 2 stroke in it, I have one on my Nirve, and can't break it...it's like a Timex.
Although... I would love to put a 4 stroke in it, but can't afford it.

On those mounts ...Are they the 3/8 or 5/8 off set (or is it only one size)... which one to get and will they clear the one piece stock cranks?

oh yeah, one other question..
are people using caswell on the tank?
I used Kreem on my other bike.
And what about the seat stays.. do those holes need blocked off, or just the seat tube and head tube?

Ok, I'm finally done with this build...
All that's left is to clean it up and take some pictures (once snow outside is gone), so I can post them.
Here is a picture from today. The snow is melting so the roads are still wet, and I have no fenders..
GPS shows 34mph.. so cruising at 25mph @ 5500rpm should be about perfect.
