Hi everyone
I am looking for some forks made of reynolds steel - 753 ideally, but 531/653/anything else will be fine.

Colour doesn't matter really, chrome would be nice though.
Also, my headtube is only 10cm long so the threading will need to go quite low - somewhere around 14cm of steerer with at least 4cm of threading.

I also need a cheap headset please - or just a set of bearings and a top nut?
I'd like to keep the price as low as possible for both items really - so around £30 plus postage for the forks, as I'm situated in the midlands.

Thanks in advance

Threaded forks with really short steerer's are difficult to come by, PM hilarystone he might have something, if you can find something slightly longer your LBS might be able to cut some more thread into it

Yeah I was thinking that, but argos charge £20 per inch, so I guess that would add about 60 quid to the price of the forks...

Have some 1" chrome forks with a short steerer, but not sure of exact measurements, and don't think they're reynolds. Can check measurements this evening if you'd like.

I'd like £10 plus P&P for them so at least they're in budget...

Thanks for responding. I'll probably take them off you if I can't source any others, so I'll let you know.

Cheers

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
