I've got a nice old Saracen Sahara Pro that I removed the knackered old suspension forks from and replaced with some equally crap rigid forks.

Has anyone got and half decent rigid forks hanging around? Preferably a-head, but threaded would be fine. Its a large frame though so I'd need a lot of steerer just under 9" if its a-head.

Ideally wouldn't mind something like the Kona P2s to be a bit more in keeping with the "period" of the bike, but something modern would be fine.

I could stretch to £40 or £50 if anyone's got anything nice. Can pickup anywhere in London.

You could get a brand new Surly 1x1 for around £50, or possibly cheaper if you play your VCL-do-a-lot-of-good-work-for-charidee card at BC…

About the same weight as the 1x1's, but straight blade - which seem more at home on mountain bikes.

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.
