I've inherited a 1970s Liberati from my girlfriend's Italian granddad. I've been restoring it and it's looking a real beaut, but in the process of shipping it over from Rome the forks got bent and it appears the crown is cracked so I need a replacement.
The current ones weigh 760g and are 530mm in total length with 157mm of stem and 32mm of thread.
Ideally I'm looking for columbus tubing with the bird logo on the crown, but anything logo-less would go down a treat also. Would be nice to have a chrome one, but I'm happy to strip and chrome a non-chrome piece if it's an affordable price.
Hullo. I'm looking for some forks.

Thank you! Her dad is visiting in Dec and I'd love to show how grateful I am by making this old bici look super tasty.
