It looks like theres no tire clearance on the fork though!

great work! looks really clean and the color scheme is cool. id have to agree, not much front tire clearence. short of finding wider forks (like say an old pair off a xmart mtn bike), i got a tiny bit more clearence in the front forks of my old hawthorne by putting a few washers to act as spacers strategically placed on the front axle between cone nuts and fork.
