Right here is my Gitane Super PIsta 74
I bought it frame only and I have been looking for track forks for it since then (a long time ago) I have never been able to find any with a long enough steerer for my mammoth frame. I had one pair of Concorde forks with campy drops that were so close! but about 50 mil too short, think they are in 31trum's grubby mitts now. The forks that are on it currently I put on just to get it on the road until i find the real deal, but in nearly a year I have still found nothing. I am considering these ( http://bit.ly/2eBOmP) but they seem grossly overpriced to me, what do you think? The tange website has some suitable stuff (http://www.tange-design.com/tange_2007/forks2.htm) but no contact details or info of UK dealers. So anyone have any chrome 700c forks with low rake to sell?
the spicer site has some stuff i like too but shipping is v expensive (http://spicercycles.com/itemlist.cfm?pageId=83)
it's looking like track forks for this will cost more than the frame. i love itt o bits though, frames like this in my size (62cm) come around very rarely so don't want to give up on it.
help or opinions?
