Wanted: Steel forks.

[Hugh Manatee]

Hi everyone. I am after a set of forks as close to this spec as possible.

Quality (531) steel forks.
One inch size.
200mm or more of threaded steerer.
Dropout eye preferred.
Separate crown style.
Standard road rather than track rake.

In reality, I'm not going to be too fussy! At the moment it is looking cheaper to get a new frame and forks somewhere! I would however, rather use what I already have.

Thanks.

Oh No! Didn't buy THIS did you?

 

[Hugh Manatee]

Certainly not! I have got a set of forks that look very much like those however!

Ah well. Let me know if anything turns up. I'm using my old mountain bike on slicks at the moment and I still have Spare Bike#1 if I manage to develop any leg muscles!

You have no time for messing about with bike bits! That fence desperately needs a coat of creosote.....

I've got these. £8 pickup North Manchester. Decent cond. Temporary arrangement for you maybe?

 

[Hugh Manatee]

@bigjim I'm not sure the steerer is quite long enough. I think I measured mine from the bearing race. If I find myself up your way, I'll definitely drop you a PM.

At £8 it is worth the risk. Any idea what they're made of?

They are Careera so not gas pipe. I don't think they are heavy. I should imagine they would be under 501, but don't know what that is.

These any good to you, just got surface rust on . 531 off a Carlton.

 

[Hugh Manatee]

@hobo They might be good. They are 700c rather than 27"? Where are you?

 

[hobo]

They are 27 but i used 700c in them ok.
I live near Mow cop (killer mile).

Ah, I think they would need to be 700c as the brakes I have are shallow drop. I may well be up that way later in the summer dropping my daughter off for DoE. I might well be in touch.
