• Hi all,
    Looking for some good solid, small to zero rake chrome forks for my Steamroller(1"1/8th).
    Can anybody point me in the right direction?
    Oh, and they gotta fit 28Cs.

  • Hmm steel forks in 1 1/8, nearly impossible to get, unless from an EAI Bareknuckle frame... Easier to order a custom made one, but that would be expensive :(

  • Bollox.

  • Kona Project 2 then get it chromed yerself?

  • What's up with the Surly forks or are you just ready for a change?

  • There are some 2nd hand 700c P2s on Gumtree if you go that route - save £$s but they will have canti bosses.

  • I just want it tighter at the front.

    I believe it would enhance my enjoyment of the bicycle immeasurably.
    :)

    P2s - too bulky.

  • Fair play. I think I've still got some carbon forks somewhere with very small rake. You could wack those on for a while if you like/I can find them.

  • How much would you like for them? Would need to take a look.

  • Let me see if I still have them first (They're already on loan to someone else and I haven't seen them for a while).

  • Don't go to any trouble though, seriously.
    I don't want you going out of your way for something I am not sure about.
    Ideally of course I'd want chrome steel.
    Carbon could look out of place on that green plus silver bike.

  • Valid. I'd forgotten that there was no black on your Surly.

  • I was looking for 1" chrome forks a while back. two sources I found (outside ebay) were:

    1. BLB have a bucket or two full of chrome forks. may be worth a look, although might all be 1"?
    2. Holdsworth Cycles in Putney can order direct from Reynolds - chrome 531 were about £50-60. might be worth a call to see if they can get 11/8"?

  • JS, would they be able to order un-drilled track forks 1"??
    edit sorry to jump yer thread ma3k.

  • not sure - I was looking for drilled so never asked. in the end I bought some NOS GIOS forks from ebay, mostly because BLB couldn't be arsed to look downstairs for the forks I wanted and Holdsworth never got back to me after I ordered them.

    Jase

  • murtle, i had a look for you last sun at BLB, lots of chrome but all drilled :)

  • who cares if it's drilled

    for fucks sake.

  • Abel Ferrara?

  • what about straight issac carbon 1 + 1/8 inch forks?????

  • lpg who cares if it's drilled

  • evans cycles and cavendish have tange 1" 1/8 ahead steel lugged crown forks, they are a bit hybrid, i.e have eyelets but these can be ground off, also they are raked but they are 4130 cromoly

  • they might have v brake mounts aswell i don't remember
