I have a set of undrilled Alpina forks from my Dolan which I would like to trade for a set of drilled ones (or something similar).

They are these ones http://www.dolan-bikes.com/carbon-track-fork-matt.html and are Carbon legs with uncut alu steerer 1&1/8th and 0 rake.

Why not just drill them you may ask? Well I took them to a reputable frame builder who drilled a tiny test hole and rather stupidly didn't use a pillar drill so now they cannot be drilled without it pulling the bit off at an angle! I have filled it with metal filler and it's barely noticeable but as I want to use a brake it would be great to find a brake less demon who would like to trade.

Cheers! T

Have had a few offers for road forks but would like something with 0 rake. Cheers.

Hi! Would you consider just selling it?

It would leave me short a pair of forks for my other frame so would rather not. Will see if a suitable trade comes in but otherwise I may consider selling in a week or two....

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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