I've finally got a Retro! Wicked Fat

[dyna-ti]

Lovely find. and great to get it in such good original condition.Makes the job 10x shorter

btw, can I get some advice on how to source a decent rigid fork for the wicked? from a little research, I think I need a 1 inch fork with 295 mm a2c and 45 mm of rake. I dont know how long the steerer should be as my new headset wrench hasnt arrived

Any new ones on the market you guys know that fits the bill?

It's an issue, original Fat unicrowns pop out on ebay rarely. I haven't found one for myself. Do you mean 395 a2c?
Old specialized direct drive might be an option, Ritchey or Tange. Really anything from late 80's and early 90's. Zigzag, retrobike fellow found a very nice unknown fork with Rithey dropouts:

Not such a thing as a new and decent 1 inch forks on market these days, not threaded at least.

Yeah i meant 395.

I was hoping someone would say these were ok. Ive seen them available new and in various steerer lengths.

I guess its a treasure hunt now.

That'll work fine. Pretty much exactly what it would have been originally.

I stand corrected, these ones are not bad at all, good weight.
