I have a custom All Rounder from 2000 and it’s a great bike. I still remember the way it felt descending at speed for the first time. It is great on the road as well as non-technical dirt. I had mine built for canti brakes and I’m still happy with that choice.
The fork will clear a tire in the low 40 mm size. If I had it built today I would want it to accept wider tires.
