I'm seeking a steel fork, threaded, aimed at 27" wheels with mudguards. It's to replace the fork from an old Dawes Galaxy but I might be open to mismatched stuff so long as it all fits.

I have a fork, will fit 27s, with eyelets for guards. Currently a darkish greeny blue. 60s or 70s I guess. Threads good. Will take measurements, what dimensions do you want to know?

well, in absense of a response, the dimensions are:
top of steerer-fork crown: 186mm
threading: 32.5mm
Crown race: 26.6mm
rake: 45mm
spacing: 98mm

I'd say this may well be from a Dawes, Claud Butler, Holdsworth or similar. Flat crown with centre point, wide oval blade. Nice large rounded ends, sharply bending rake and serial number suggests 50s, 33155.

If Skully's don't do it for you, Northwood Cycle Depot has quite a few steel forks hanging up in their workshop, give them a ring 01923 824174 they're helpful

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
