Wanted: Forks!

I have a columbus tubed merckx rebuild on the cards, but needing a new fork for it.

I would ideally love a merckx fork to replace the damaged one, just wanted to see what people had to offer? Chrome would be nice! :)

Alternatively I would consider anything columbus (preferably) or 531 etc.. again - chrome would be nice :)

I have some 753 in a hideous shade of leurid green- may be alright after a re-paint, super long steerer too. Will need to be posted also

What length is the head tube on your frame... I do have some Merckx forks...

I'm not sure yet Hilary - I'm not picking the frame up until next weekend. However it is in Bristol (you're based there right?) So perhaps I could come have a look at your forks while I'm in town?

Hi i have a F Moser Chrome 1" fork with a 130 mm steerer if your interested....

Currently at £10.50 with 8 hours to go

got a black 531 fork i found on the street, yours free if you want? some rust patches on but think they're just surface

I have some columbus in chrome, some rust but in working order, let me know

@ Kboy, thanks for the offer man - I'm holding out for chrome though :)

@ rik, how much would you want for them? Whats the steerer length?

I should have measurements some time tomorrow hopefully

Hi, dont want to hijack the thread but I am also looking for a set of forks BUT NOT chrome ones so I hope its ok - iro_dan, how much are you looking to pay, I have a set of chrome forks about 160mm stearer but they are currently inuse on spare bike but could swap.

Im looking for some good tubing and a stearer of about 140mm.

So please keep posting any forks you have.

steering length maybe 15 or 16cm , price 18GN

@Kboy, do you still have those black ones and if so what's the steerer length please?

@Kboy - Thanks! Forks are perfect size!

Now I have a spare set of unknown forks going spare, Stearer is about 17cm and they are on the heavier side but if anyone needs needs them in in Dalston.

Tour de Ville had about three (3) chrome Merckx forks in stock last week.

None were perfect. Not sure of prices.

What is the seat tube length?

What is the seat tube length?

sorry , went away for the weekend.
The approximate frame measurements are:

BB to seatpost is: 56cm.
seatpost to middle of headset: 55.5cm
head tube (not including headset): approx 14.8 cm

bump bump bump.. I need forks!

I would like them to be early 90's merckx forks - to fit a corsa extra!

Or if anyone has any ideas where I could source some - let me know please. Would really appreciate it.

Although my original reply said stems it was meant to be forks.

Have you checked TdV?

What is the seat tube length?

:)

No steering tube length was given, and most people don't know theirs without measuring.

With seattube size the required fork is easily determined on Merckx frames.

You're giving me shit because I haven't seen you in a month.

Wests tomorrow?

hehe, might do :)

So what do you recommend?

I emailed Tdv to ask if they had anything suitable.
