hey all,

picked up a beater track frame and now in need of some forks, its 54cm (need to measure headtube) so something that will fit that with a normal sized headset, I assume this will be around 180mm steerer? maybe 185mm? around this or a bit longer should be fine as long as I can trim it to suit (i.e. enough of the steerer is threaded)

ideally after some 80s-ish track forks, older or newer probably fine, would be good if drilled or can be drilled, not after straight blades, or slack geo........track forks might be hard to find so am open to offers on decent road forks

cosmetically they can be rough (paint chips etc), but no bent / damaged forks please

thanks

I have got some chrome columbus road forks at home, relatively tight geo.

Will check steerer length when I get home and let you know

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
