Almost got sorted on a set but steerer was too short, anybody with a carbon colnago fork with 26 cm or thereabouts steerer let me know.
Anybody looking for one with a 21cm steerer WimVDD has some and is very helpful.
Have a great weekend,

Still looking guys, i reckon i can get away with steerers cut to 26cm, again happy to consider any Colnago carbon fork to bring it closer to original.

If you don't totally need carbon, BLB had some 260mm threadless Precisa forks in black with orange top last time I was in there.

1st generation c40 came with steel fork
26cm quite long how big is your frame ? -
• #13
HI MRI, it is equivalent to a 58cm frame, the length of steerer is also due to being an ex rower and not having the lower back support i used to!
I think my C40 is second generation, it did have a star fork but the previous owner noticed it had a crack in the steerer, removed it to inspect and it fell apart, damn lucky he was not riding it at the time!

Ok no worries understand the need for longer steerer
You might have more luck searching for a Time fork also used on many colnago bikes of the period
Keep looking one will turn up 😊 -

Hi MRI, the time forks look great too, i have a set of plain carbon forks on there that the minute, it looks great and handles really well. really i am just trying to get it back to original.
they will turn up, might take a few months but hopefully less!

Got a hit on eBay for a force fork, would much prefer to give my money to a forum member though, anything out there?

Lost out on the bay. Anything out there, still looking.
Hi all, i thought i would try again for these forks!
Am building up a lovely C40 bought from here a while back, bike is awesome and Morten is a gent who sold me the bike with a great carbon fork that works well with the frame.
After the Star forks to get it looking and feeling more original.
Many thanks,
Gareth
