Another build, another school boy error...

Morning everybody

Shortly after eBay offered up the last part needed for my Raliegh RSP build (Thomson bars if you're asking) I started with the always satisfying job of pressing in the headset cups.

No, these were the correct size.

King logo's correctly position they went in fine.

That's all I had time to do before the rugby but I thought I'll quickly pop the forks through the headtube just for a look see...

The steerer offered about 5mm of clearance at the top!

I'd just assumed that it was a good length and to be fair it is but the headtube on the RSP is MASSIVE!

Any recommendations for forks with long 250mm+ Steerers and bosses?

Guesseing new will be easiest unless someone has anything to off load?

Ideally black...

Cheers

Will
 
Re:

Ha!

Yes, good point.

Suspension, 1.1/8, black (ideally), brake bosses, 250mm steerer...
 
Then there might be some importance to the desired build height of the fork. 410mm? More? Less? Depends on the frame.
