Hi all, I'm after a 1 inch carbon fork for a restoration project. Ideally threadless but happy either way.
Cheers,

I may have - will need to get up in our loft and search it out to see if it is 1" or not - it is brand new uncut

Thanks, iluvmybike that would be much appreciated

Have eventually found the forks but alas they are 11/8th" Its a shame as they are a nice brand new 3T Rigida Pro carbon fork with an alu steerer. Sorry mate

Hey iluvmybime, no worries thanks so much for looking

I have a pair but come in bright yellow, so possibly not what you're after?

Ooohh bright yellow, I'm curious! Walkman-man, have you got any pictures?

No pics as I first wanted to establish if you could actually be interested and imagined this would be someone who'd match the forks to a yellow frame or beater bike, but you wouldn't seem to be one of these or I'd imagined you'd have said so. But this could be academic though as I've just spotted your second post in the thread requesting that the forks must be one where it's steerer has been left uncut/be a long steerer, and I recall my forks were fitted to quite a small sized frame so definitely would be no good if you require a decent length of steerer.

Ah no problem, I've got a 56cm frame so probably too short 🙁 thanks anyway 👍

Not many 1" carbon forks were ever made. Try an eBay search for Look, Time or ITM Millennium (it may take a lot of scrolling, because your average eBay seller doesn't bother filling in details like steerer diameter). The Look ones usually have steel steerers and the others usually have carbon ones. They are not usually cheap NOS, and I wouldn't touch a used one unless there was a plausible reason why it was very low mileage.

Hi Rog, you're right there's not much out there at all, and what forks are out there have already been cut. Thanks for the advice

Vickster, that tifosi fork is top of my list at the moment. The frame is Columbus brain though so I might stretch to the Columbus minimal fork

for a restoration project.

As a matter of interest, are you looking to "restore" the frame by fitting a carbon fork like the one it used to have? Or is this an 'upgrade'?
Best of luck.

Call off the hunt; new fork purchased! It's an upgrade. I've got what I think is a late 90s Peugeot competition frame with no forks. My plan is to have it sanded down and powder coated, and build it up with modern components. The aim is to make it as light as possible, within reason
