Happy New Year to you too! I know the trike and recumbent guys sometimes build their own forks so it can be done safely. I don't mind crashing but endoing terrifies me. And since you can find a decent fork for $100 here in the US, building one wasn't a risk I wanted to assume at the time. I think I'd feel more comfortable building one now that I've got a bit more experience but it's a fairly complex component.

I build my bikes in the summer when the temp is around 80 to 100 deg F.

Yes, it's pretty much a 54cm frame with exception to the stand-over which is a little taller.
