I think it must be me but just in case it isn't I thought I'd ask here.
I need to replace the front forks on my daughters bike and I can't find anything suitable at a price that suits.
The bike is a project, I found it at the local tip, palmed the attendant a tenner to turn his back whilst I loaded it into the car.
I've grabbed a few items from here such as wheels, headset etc at very very good prices. I've also splashed out on some new tyres and new handlebars - I know, I know I really spoil my daughter don't I!
All I need know is a half decent front fork and I can get on and build the bike.
Current fork has a nasty bulge in the steerer so I don't want to use it.
I need something that will take a 700 wheel, 1" threaded with a 200mm steerer. Eyelets for mudguards would be nice but not essential. I've had a rummage on the net and can only seem to find stuff around the £50.00 mark or above. I only want to pay £20.00 max. (am I being unrealistic?)
I've visited the second hand bike shops in Brighton but none of them have anything suitable.
So, a plea to the forum, anyone have something suitable? Or maybe you young whipper snappers can search out something new yet affordable using your ninja search skills.
I'm in Brighton so if you have something second hand it'll need posting.
Thanks in advance
