Right so... I bought a frame without a fork and got my hands on a 1" threaded fork knowing the steerer tube was too long for the head tube. I assumed that extending the threading on the fork was a relatively straight forward thing to do if you had the correct equipment. i based this assumption on advice given to me by this character of a guy (who i used to work with) who was well into his track bikes 'back in the day''. He told me that such a device existed and that he has used one in the past. i called up brixton cycles to ask if they did this and, if they didn;t, if they could point me in the right direction. to my horror they told me it's impossible. Is this right? surely not!! someone take me out of my misery and tell this isn;t so... coz otherwise it's going to be an utter fucker getting my hands on a 1" threaded fork exactly the right size for my head tube?
