looks a nice frame that. If you do repaint, I'd keep that colour if I were you.

What size head tube? I'm presuming 1 inch which will limit fork options.
Kona Project 2 were available in 1 inch.
There are quite a few cheap chrome options on ebay which would would match the chainstay eg:

Should have said, if anyone has a 1 inch threaded fork with cantilever bosses that they are looking to sell - please let me know.

I love the color and decals! The condition doesn't look too bad, can you not clearcoat the bare metal bits?
Maybe Orlowski can make a fork for you, you can always ask -

Paint condition looks superb, I wouldn’t dream of repainting!
Custom chrome fork with all the mounting points sounds perfect for this.Maybe I’ve never looked but feel like I’ve never seen a Wiler mtb before.

Very nice frame!
If you want a place holder fork to try the bike / use during the good days, you can have this for free if you can pick up on London area. Approx 230mm of steerer. It's cheap stuff.You could also speak to Winston to get forks made.

I do like the idea of custom forks, nothing I’ve seen so far looks quite right.
Afternoon all,
After months of trawling the interweb I have finally found myself a retro MTB build for an all purpose Winter road, gravel and bike packing bike (or just Dad bike with the Shot Gun seat and bar). I like the colour but could be persuaded to do a renovation. I tend to send frames to Mercian for that sort of thing.
Never seen one of these before and have another Wilier which I use a lot so this grabbed my attention. Anyone seen or got something similar? It reminded me of the orange Mercian MTB posted on here recently.
First thing is to find a fork. I’m after ideas please…
