Looking for a quality set of the above before getting some made. Don't need to be cosmetically perfect as I'll get painted to match frame, as long as free of dent, dings, rust, damage etc. A quality light-ish steel would be good.

Ideal Specs would be...

Wheels: 700c
Braze ons: Mudguard eyes, maybe rack mounts but not essential
Clearance: for at least 25c with mudguards or bigger clearance okay.
Steerer length: Pref uncut. Needs to be at least 290 - 300mm.
Fork axle to crown: 275mm - 280mm.
Rake: 45mm rake/offset min. No straight forks.
Crown: Flexible, just not a unicrown. Needs to look good with a fillet brazed 'lugless' frame

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry forgot to say, for 700c wheels.

Thanks Vince, I thought I'd checked SJS but I clearly didn't. The ones on there look an okay option. I have a carbon fork I can use in the meantime, so not in a rush. Basically seeing if anyone has anything before considering getting some made.

Did you sort out some short reach bars yet? Did you get some Soma Highway Ones in the end?

I have been in touch with the importer and I should get some next month.
£38 all in for them which is a bit more than I want to paid but short reach silver bars in 26mm are not easy to get hold of...

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

```

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

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
