Sorry, it was a real brain fade.

Great recommendation and advice. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I weighed the now destroyed forks and they come in at 775g... but maybe that's because of the extra reaming they received :LOL:

No roller stem. The cockpit was all non original. I am guessing it happened when the brakes where changed to V-brakes. They are nice ones M739's

In all fairness the shop has been very good with admitting fault. The mechanic admitted his inexperience with this particular job and said that although it's straight forward in theory, in practice it's something that requires a fair amount of experience and admitted a degree of hubris on his...

Ok mate. I think the fork will work. I have a frame with a steerer tube that's 120mm. I am working with a Ritchey Logic headset with a stack height of 36mm plus a front brake cable hanger. What do you think? Cheers

What is the approx weight of the forks? Thanks

I am going to get the rear spacing dimension... thanks

A little while ago I picked up a 95' Team Marin. It came with an assortment of non original parts and a fooked, very heavy suspension fork. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/marin-team-issue-info-and-suggestions.490538/ I have set about sourcing a replacement rigid fork as I wanted to lighten...

good questions. I don't have the frame with me at the moment so I can't measure it. Any ideas? Could even be 126mm I guess.

Sorry mate. Only just noticed they are 24", looking for 26" Thanks

26" but I guess that's obvious. Shimano, Freehub. 8 speed+ Budget is preferably £100 but willing look at different options. For this bike:
