Merckx Steel Forks

Hi. Anyone got a set of steel Merckx forks they want to sell. Colour irrelevant. To fit 55cm frame or similar. Must be good condition i.e not bent ! and have Big Teds logo on the crown.

Sorry, should have said, 1" steerer, 170/180cm long.

try brick lane bikes, they seem to have heaps of forks around the place, but be expected to be bent over price wise! ;)

come on dale you got a downer on everybody at the minute students / brick lane lighten up there fella !!!!! :-} how can you be sad with that bike of your'n

I'll give them a try, but don't want telephone number prices ! cheers.

Hi

I understand the importance of matching F+F (I have a merckx too!), but I have an old pair of Chrome Colnago forks (curved) if interested. Have been meaning to put on ebay for a while but never got around to it!

Thanks for the offer of the Colnago forks J, but i'll hang on until i find the correct forks.
The link above for Merckx forks is interesting, will look into that. Cheers

That wouldn't be for a 55 Merckx frame with a dented fork that went on Ebay for $408 on Sunday would it?

It is for a 55cm Merckx frame, but it wasn't on Ebay on Sunday. Hang on, i'll just go and have a look in the garage.....
Nope, its still there. Bought it last year, but it had carbon forks on it, which the previous owner had fitted in place of the originals.

Ooohhh - Eddie merckx Corsa Extra SLX if I recall correctly?

Merckx Corsa 01 (zero uno). Bought it from a guy at work that raced for Interbike a few years ago. He got knocked off of it (no damage to bike), and has never ridden it since. He's also got an Alu Team sitting in his spare bedroom with 10 spd Chorus, which hasn't seen the light of day for about 4 years, and i was the last one to ride that as well.

No joy with the folks in Belgium at Merckx forks ago go link. Just have to keep an eye on Fleabay i guess.

Of course, now it's my turn.
Chrome Merckx forks anyone? 1" threaded/unthreaded (not too fussed yet) for a 57-58cm frame?
