Got some brand spanking new Planet X pro carbon forks in white, never fitted.
Full carbon forks and 1 1/8" steerer, 397 grams uncut, currently £100 on their site, looking for £65 (edited) paypal'd to your door (will be packaged carefully). -
I'm a student, the chances of me ever being able to afford to do it is minimal, I will be looking for some 1 inch forks, don't you worry.

Thanks for the responses folks! The outer diameter is 36.5mm (measures with a caliper) so I reckon it is doable. I think perhaps a drill would be best but as you most of you say securing the frame would be expensive. I guess I may just have to bite the butting and find some 1 inch forks, until I can find a way of doing this effectively.

I've just got my hands on a LeMond Alpe D'Huez, 853 steel 57cm etc. There is currently a appears to be a 1" headset, but the butted walls where the cups fit are really quite thick whilst the main tube is considerably larger. I was wondering if it was at all possible to take out 3mm of the butting in order to accommodate a larger 1 1/8" headset. This may be a really stupid question, but my older Raleigh frame has a straight gauge head tube and I've never had any issues with flex etc. As to why I'd want to do this, simply I have a bunch of 1 1/8 carbon forks which I'd like to utilize, otherwise I'm looking at some Columbus minimal's which are 150+
Cheers,
Joe
