i think i will keep a eye out on some forks shaun thanks for the option though seen some chrome on ebay in the past for a tenner no rush it was only the start of the project only just finished my mountain bike project

they were originally 27" wheels but fitting 700x28 wheel combo with a 3/8 spindle cant believe i tried doing it a moment of madness

wanted set cheap forks with at least a 165mm steerer 1" threaded for a vintage fixie build originally they fitted a 27"1/4 wheel and tyre combo but now i am fitting 700x28 wheel combo so what you got folks

just tried it nearly broke wrist when drill snatched and now knackered forks any one got a set cheap with at least a 165mm steerer

just had a thought could i not drill out the forks bigger then file to make it neat

its a 3/8 spindle with nuts on not quick realease and i think the cap in the forks is 5/16 old school size its the font froks off the obrien as i am converting it to single speed so bought new wheels

help my new wheels wont fit into my front forks where the wheels bolt up the opening is to small what can i do to open out the slot so wheel fits in

same here nice

oh yes never spotted thst lol

oh i like it and a single spped too

i have picked up a obrien see pics in other thread but as i cant seem to get and info on it i am going to turn that into a single speed when i get a chance working on a mountain bike scratch build at the min from a carrerra vulcan frame which is now bright orange powder coat

looks sweet

frame number is by the rear wheel nuts and its 62338

any good on dating this bike yet folks or any more history stugglinging finding info i dont want to send it to be painted if its a rare one

shaun i hope so as was gonna get the frame blasted and power coated and turn into a single speed but its looking rare there was a o brien bike shop in coventry so maybe your right but did see one on gum tree 6 weeks back idenical bike need to knowe the year
