Some track forks don't have the correct material in the fork crown necessary to withstand the forces from braking (because on a track you don't brake, obvs). I had this issue with some proper track forks that I wanted to have drilled. No shops would drill them for me, for fear of increasing the likelihood of failure in the fork. Tifosi do a Pista fork, which is black. Failing that, have a look around, Condor also do a drilled Pista-type fork. Don't fuck around with the structural integrity of your bike, not worth it.

But why? First of all, I will not be selling this and second, where do I find forks like these? eBay? Can't find anything, I've looked for a new one, same colour, but nothing yet.
