That's very nice, and the fork looks like it has a road rake, so it will be easy to find another one cheapz (or Crabon if you must) if owner can't find it. Alternatively a Dia Compe clamp-on front works too.
I would advice against tubulars in wet weather/other p_nctr happy conditions, unless you don't mind using foam to fill holes. I've cycled them and on glass filled roads you will get flats...at the worst time, of course, as you do :)
JWestland-
Thanks. Yes would be good to get it going with a brake, really hope he can find the fork and will look into the clamp on brake option. Never run tubs before and am not very keen!

Where is it really easy to find 650C 1" forks?

never ridden fixed before but this was local and going cheap (i think!) so the ebay trigger finger got itchy...
Custom made for the guy I bought it from in Reynolds 731 OS Race with lovely wishbone stay. Front wheel is Mavic 520 hub/650 Wolber Profil 20with bladed radial spokes, rear is Record hub to Mavic GEL 280 (lacking one lock ring I think), Stronglight hs, Cinelli stem, steel bars, SR Royal cranks, also came with a Juna disc wheel but with some damage around the valve hole. Have no real need for it and unlikely it will get much use unless I can get the other fork that it originally came with that was drilled for a brake (seller is going to try to dig it out of his loft fingers crossed...). I'll start a thread if I decide to do much with it...
