I bought this lovely track frame on ebay, but since I won't be drilling the forks I'm rolling brakeless... to stop me crashing (again) I think I need some form of braking assistance!
I don't fancy those clamp-on brakes, much rather some nice road forks to go with the frame - I did spend a few quid on the rest of it so don't want to cut any financial corners just for the sake of it. They need to be 1" threaded, ideally straight or with minimal rake/trail and have a long steerer - since I have a 20cm headtube the steerer needs to be somewhere around 24cm I think - I'd rather longer so I can cut down if needs be though. I don't think I'm going to get a colour match to the frame, so I'm after silver chrome. And if I'm being picky a nice flat crown...
I've asked in loads of bike shops from Evans to Tour De Ville to eBay but not got anywhere. If anyone has anything they would sell, or can point me towards somewhere/one that does I would be very grateful.
Frame pics attached, I haven't got round to photographing it built up - been too busy riding it ;)
