Is it also possible (and easy) to change the front fork out to something more like a gravelbike? i am quite new to this. Would like to make a good bikepacking bike 🙂
Well, that fork looks bent to me for sure. I’d be pretty wary that an impact that bend the fork might have damaged the head set bearings, head tube or frame. I’d give this a pass personally unless I was comfortable evaluating the frame for cracks and bends. I’d pay $315 if the fork wasn’t bent.

No, and no. Price is a little high for the condition and if you don’t want suspension fork just buy something else. Look for the Trek FX instead.Â
