Peace!

Ha... i love your silly little photos roberto :)

Oooh interested in the orange one but I'd have to measure up my head tube tonight before I could commit are they 1" or 1 1/8" steerer?

Can you get me Bayley's bike? :)

How much is the Pendleton?
;)

steerer too short for me :(

hey roberto, got any cheapish drilled forks lying around? Finish dun' matter. Also I think edwin might pop round soon to swap that stem for one with a normal clamp diameter. :)

I have these forks going for free....

they look like shit but are solid, threads need wire brushing......if you need to know steerer and thread lengths, ask me.

the current forks are 152 mil steerer length, of which 46 mil are threaded. I guess it'd need to be more or less that.

Those forks look more or less ok.

They're for my friend's bike - current forks are for 27 inch wheels & have an old skool brake drilling (too small for the shimano 105 I wanna fit).

Whereabouts are you based?

if that was for me....steerer length 168mm of which 38mm is threaded....I'm Fins Pk.

Winston: yeah sorry forgot the quote button. Any day preferable? I'm busy probably till next week.

Roberto, I would be very interested in the Fork #1 but I'm still waiting for my new frame to arrive so that I can measure the steerer tube properly...

I think I had the same problem on my forks, after fannying about in loads of bike shops trying to find a brake with the right combination of old school bolt and enough drop I decided to drill out the rear hole in the forks. You just need to make that hole a bit wider and the 105 should fit in. Apologies if i have the wrong end of the stick tho!

The yellow forks are sold, i am just waiting the payment, will let you know if the guy changes his mind...

How hard was it to find a modern style brake with a lot of drop? I'm going to need one with about 60-70 mm... to be fair i haven't looked anywhere myself yet.

asm....I'm pretty busy 'til next Friday I'm afraid.

Winston, that's no problem, probably better for me too. I'll PM you closer to the time.

I only needed about 56mm which wasn't hard to find, but all had the newer allen key 'nut' and a shorter bolt. Cavendish had a Dia Compe that had the old bolts, but the drop was too long! I reckon that would sort you out. TBH I can't really remember the details, it may have been single pivot, but its still a caliper, its shiny and was only £13 if memory serves.

Edit: I'm pretty sure it was this but in silver:
which seems to be dual pivot...short term memory not so hot

Deeeeeeeeeeep drop

Wow thanks guys, laziness pays off! I'll prob still take the forks off of winston. always handy to have forks lying around :)
