Wanted: Track Fork - Ideally Original Gazelle

why not convert to ahead and be done with it? If you can't get original forks, then move on. Sorry, just me being me in nothing stands still.

sorry Meerlan those lejeune forks have a mere 17.5cms of steerer. Good luck with your search anyways.

i love the fact you are telling him this once he has already bought it

I just happen to know the previous owner (who's now on his way to india by bike, and completely uncontactable, btw). I didnt even know he'd sold it.

At least Im telling the new owner before he rides it, but from what I remember, its perfectly sound, apart from the superficial dent.

Its going to be tricky to find gazelle track forks that size (and I say that as someone who's been looking for a shorter steerer'd set of gazelle round track forks for a while) so I'd be tempted to keep the aheadset/forks, build it and ride it for now, and think about changing the forks if/when you ever find any (which is what I'm doing with my gazelle). The 27's that keep being offered are probably a worse idea than the forks that he has now..

If you decide to look around for other forks in general: I have some nice Cougar forks with a steerer that may well be long enough for that frame, they're from a 59cm frame I think. They are 531, tight clearance for 23/25 ish, nice sloping crown with cougar's head pantograph, shallow rake, pearlescent white lower half with nice mid-blue paint design on the top section, Cougar decals.

How much steerer tube do you need?

PM me for a photo, I can take one tonight.
