  • Hello,

    I need some 650c forks to fit this weird frame:

    Anybody have something like that?

    Ideally I think straight blade forks would suit it, since i think Tornado mostly used straight blade forks in the 90's.

    Seller must be willing to ship to Denmark.

    I'll go measure how long the steerer needs to be tomorrow.. :)

    edit;
    It needs to be a threaded fork, 1", ideally a undrilled track fork, steerer needs to be 135mm long, don't know about the rake.. But guess the geometry is pretty much a standard track LoPro.

  • That thing is mental! Good luck with the build!

  • Crazy!

  • Moser made one of similar design.. only his was really ugly..

  • Maybe you could provide the detail of what you need, like the steerers diameter, length, type, rake, drillings etc etc....

  • updated.

  • pm pistofski, he might have one even in yellow (check my friends list for his details)

  • Thanks for the tip, but he does not want to sell... still looking.

  • bump! still looking!

  • hi haj,

    would you consider purchasing a custom made pair of forks fabricated from the down tube of Columbus Air frameset?

    alternatively have you seen Argos' cycles custom made aero forks?

    costs work out about the same

  • Hey,

    That's a bit more than I'm willing to spend... I'm looking for something that costs not more than about £50..

  • searching from the US bike or fixed website,
    you can find some.

  • I have some straight alu ones, lovulies, but want a bit more than £50

  • rik; you could pm me what you want and a photo?

  • will do tomorrow, is that is ok?

  • That is just fine.. :)

  • ive got some 650c carbon forks for sale if your interested? bought on here a couple weeks ago but they didnt work out on my frame. 1 1\8 threadless blackstream carbon

    oh yeah they're going to be great.

    "i need a 1" threaded steerer"

  • just buy em ok

  • I'v just bought some.. Need to get some more thread cut on the steerer though... :)

    I should perhaps get my act together and get a snapshot of it with the fork on (no headset yet) and 3-spoke front + disk rear.. ? :)

  • If, in the highly unlikely event, you ever get bored of this frame, ever, let me know and I'll buy it.
    immediately!

  • Would have liked straight forks.. But at least they are with somewhat tight clearance and not too much rake.

  • What happened to the straight yellow 650 fork on ebay a few weeks back... i didn't bid as i thought you were going for it... it was even bloody yellow!

  • I was going for it.. just not going enough :/

    But hey, they aren't that bad.. could even be very close to the original.
