@jdavers17 The fork is from Nashbar, like the frame. It has carbon fiber legs, with aluminum crown and steerer. I painted it. To attach the rack, I had to make my own adaptors to clamp to the fork legs. These use rubber-cushioned clamps made from Adel-style aircraft/race car cushioned tubing clamps. The rack itself had to have the vertical tubes bent and crimped, and shortened a bit, followed by repainting.
One reason for making a video of ones bicycle is that it can be shown to the police in case the bike gets stolen. To make this video a little more useful that way, I think I'll add the serial number. It's NB1008184. It's on the underside of the bottom bracket.
Nice bike.... Keep us posted on your journeys with it.

Beautiful bike... but I think you need cut back on the caffeine. ;-)
But seriously, that's a beauty!
