cool,

do you have a photo of them from the front? cant see wether they would accept short reach brakes

yes will do I think there for long drop brakes. I have some old shimano brakes for sale ? If your interested

ok dont worry, I'm looking for short drop compatible for my campags. Thanks anyway.

I've got some flat crown chrome forks that I think are Columbus, with the letter 'B' embossed in the top of the crown (think the might be Benotto). Would need to double check steerer length and brake drop - will try and dig them out of the attic later.

ad441......They sound perfect. let me know how it goes.

I'll take pictures & measure this afternoon when I'm back home

I could be interested in these, do you have any more pics? What's the steerer length?

Thanks ad441 looking forward to it..

Bad news, steerer is only 175. Few photos attached anyway in case you want to get a low stack headset or something. Brake drop looks fine for standard calipers (stuck a tyreless wheel in them which makes space look bigger than it is). Can't actually see any marks to indicate tubing, though weight suggests they're something reasonable.

annoying. if i decide to get differnt headset, how much would you want for them?

cheers,

Ben

I suppose about 40ish ideally. Do you know what stack height your current headset is? If it's quite tall then probably quite a lot of choice for losing 5mm. Whereas if not then choice is very limited.

Hi ad441,

thanks for digging these out for me but I'm going to have to pass this time as they are too short. :(

oh well, and thanks again. sure someone on here will want them. they're a nice shape.

No problem, good luck.
