Pashley 26mhz project 2

So how much did eBay side with you? Or did you do the work after the dispute?

Either way it looks great, but would the fatty forks not have been easier to just source a pair with a longer steerer?

Ebay sided with me in the end as nowhere in the listing did it mention it was for ornamental purposes only.

And I haven't seen a pair of fatty R forks for sale since iv been looking since September. I'm friends with a good machinist so it's easy really and gives them a lease of life again

Nice. I had just assumed fatty weren't that rare still but sounds like they are

Looking very nice, the project looks good despite it started bad.
That type of forks can be found in countries like Spain, where they were popular. https://es.wallapop.com/item/horquilla-fatty-super-canonndale-700892396 This is a Fatty super. This was a fatty R, the seller says it is brand new (sold) https://es.wallapop.com/item/horquilla-cannondale-fatty-r-715134191

Wallapop is a local platform, not as good as ebay when you have a problem, that is a disadvantage, you have to ensure that all is ok. And speak with the owner if they don´t mind to sell to UK. Each country has his local platform and you can find some nice stuff (Germany ... a klein attitude pre trek with good price but he doesn´t whant to ship, only in person )
