Posted on
  • Looking for a chrome fork, 700C, with a 1" steerer tube and at least 190mm of steerer. Anybody got anything?

  • Roberts Columbus threadless but 181mm......too short?

  • I might have something let me check...

  • I am need exactly the same thing...

    Someone has offered me the following, but am I right in thinking that the price is too high? Although 572g for steel forks is very light!

    1: Italian, full-chrome steel, 572g, Shimano drop-outs,180mm threaded steerer tube: £85
    2: Columbus Genius, full-chrome steel, 660g, 182mm threaded steerer tube: £105

    Shipping for one forks is £12.

    I've seen pictures and they're in perfect condition.

    I really need forks!
    Thoughts??

  • i have some straight colnago forks, has been rattlecanned black for some reason, paint comes of with nail polish remover, steerer is 182mm

  • I am need exactly the same thing...

    Prices seem ok.....can't go wrong with Genius steel.....my Roberts is Columbus but not sure which and is 631g....also 181mm but threadless and includes a star fangled nut [it will be for sale...but not at the moment, it has been pressed into service until fork renovation is complete].

  • Hey Mattias...

    Sound good (cept the paint) , but I'm quite heavy and feel somewhat paranoid about the amount of weight stress on the crown with straight forks. Which is a shame because they'd look beautiful on my bike - assuming the nail polish remover would do the job.

    Perhaps Barraclough would be interested?

    Anyone else? Also opinions on the price of the one's I originally mentioned would be appreciated as they're pretty much perfect - but I'm pretty much out of money so I couldn't justify it if I wasn't getting a good deal.

    If anyone could point me/us (there seems to be quite high demand for this or similar) in the right direction I'd be well chuffed

    Cheers

  • H Marxist_Vulcan - sorry for some reason your message wasn't on my stupid tablet when I was replying to Mattias the other day...?...
    UNfortunately I need a threaded steerer. Of the two forks I mentioned previously I'd probs go for the 1st one, which is lighter and cheaper. I just have a lack of funds.

    Last try to see if anyone knows where I could get something cheaper that fits my specs?
    (even a link to an online shop or a real shop in London)
    Cheers

  • Bump, looking for something similar. Needs to be drilled and fit a 23c with a front brake. Chrome steel or 751 or 853 or even 531 as funds are definitely not unlimited. It is to go with a 853 frame. Thanks!

  • Pm sent

  • Sorry Marxist, forgot to answer you but after a threaded 1" one. Thanks very much though.

    i have some of these, in good condition... £35?

  • Has anybody else tried RH and O chrome forks? I think I read on here before they have bad clearance issues! Shame they look nice and pretty reasonable at £45.

  • Got 653 threaded forks if interested?
