@user75204 Max fork here in Belgium. Bit spendy though...
WimVDD-
Cheers fella, yeah I did see that but alas steerer is not long enough. I've got a 61cm Merckx EX Ti I wanted the fork for, but it has a 20cm headtube, so I need at least 230mm with a low stack headset like a Tange but nearer 240mm with the Record one I currently have.
I even emailed Merckx (the company not the man himself) to see if they had any old stock knocking about, or if they could source any from any of their old stockists, but they replied back saying no, so the search continues.....thanks again. As you're closer to Merckx HQ than me seemingly surrounded by lovely Merckx frames, if you ever come across any with a long enough steerer please let me know, any colour as I'll likely get it repainted. And I'll try and reward you with some suitable Belgium beer or other approved goodies.

Very nice, frame is lush, and my yearning for a Mercks Max fork is undiminished.
Hope you are slim or planning or not riding those wheels much, or the roads where you live are velodrome smooth. Those 12 spoke Shamals wheels are prone to multiple hairline cracks where the spokes join the rim. I've trashed through a pair of them myself on UK roads, which as they're eye wateringly expensive these days, was extra painful. The 16 spoke ones seem much sturdier, but clincher ones are harder to find than tubulars, and they're still ruddy expensive.
Looking forward to seeing it built up, with shiny silver I hope.
Campag or Shimano?
