Does anyone know what different Reynolds tubed forks may weigh ? my Kenevans steerer tube has REYNOLDS engraved on it and weighs 780g with a 205 mm steerer tube , the legs are approx 26 X 20 mm at the bottom of the crown

Re:

You're in luck, I weighed a Roberts fork (externally lugged fork crown) recently and it is 724 gms with a steerer length of 210 mm.

Reynolds 531 forks as it's an older Roberts.

Re:

I have found the weights of some Reynolds forks for you, for similar comparison I have chosen some with the same style fork crown.
A pair of Condor forks, Reynolds 653 tubing with a 180mm steerer, weigh 675g.
A pair of George Lonstaff forks, Reynolds 653 tubing with 195mm steerer, weighs 706g.
The ones listed below have different style fork crowns.
Rory O Brien, Reynolds 531 tubing with 195mm steerer, weigh 741g
Holdsworth Cronometro, Reynolds tubing with 190mm steere, weigh 737g
Holdsworth Special, Reynolds 531 tubing with 145mm steerer, weigh 709g
Hope this is of use.
 
Re:

Got weights of a few:

Peugeot 753, 200mm, 669 and 695
Bob Jackson 731 os, 200mm, 701
Peugeot 653, 200mm, 683
Bob Jackson 631, 100mm, 688
Peugeot 531 Pro, 180mm, 704.
(steerer lengths may be slightly off, measured externally, but all the bigger ones are the same size frames).

The lightest fork in the house belongs to one of my partner's bikes, 653, 100mm steerer and only 574g, made by Dave Quinn.
 
Re:

I just noticed a 531 engraving on the top rear of the right fork leg , did every tube of a 531 set have that done ?
