I need a fork with eyelets that will allow me to mount fenders and at least 28s. I bought the Luna w/track dropouts that was posted here awhile ago and I need a fork. Anybody have any bright ideas? I know that there is a Winwood branded fork that is carbon with eyelets. I don't want to turn the bike into a total beast but on the other hand I don't want to drop $450 for a Wound-up. Thanks.

I made a quick search and came up with this link:

I wish you luck. Other than googling I have no other way of helping out.

Well that is something at least...I haven't had a ton of luck Googling stuff.

Fork height....
You need to know what axle-crown height and rake the frame was designed for.Road forks are usually 369-372mm's A-C and cross/touring forks are usually 395-400mm's A-C.That is a major change and will cause steering/handling issues.

Evidently the Luna Fixie is built with the same geometry and dimensions as the Luna Cross. So a cross fork is fine for it. I got an Alpha Q from eBay coming and I decided to dispense with eylets because nothing that had eyelets was really what I wanted. I'll just get some adaptors so I can still use a fender. I still need to figure out the crankset...I'm trying to get something with the same Q factor as my road bike.

The frame came in the mail today. Structurally sound. Some bubbles and a 1cm scape in the clearcoat. No biggie...overall the bike looks very pretty, very stealthy. Pretty light at 1300 grams - less than 3 pounds for a 56. Not D-Fly light but light nonetheless...I'm guessing final build weight about 15 pounds (without doing too much math). Anyway: light and the fastest fixie I've ever had by a mile. I should have the Alpha Q cross fork by Friday. We'll see what else shows up...I'd like to have it built by Saturday.
