1" Threaded Steel Fork Recommendations

[SFP]

Figured lets ask the roadie crowd as I am the first to admit, I am not a full-fledged roadie.

I have a '96 Softride Solo frameset (700c, non-disc) coming home in the next couple of weeks with the stock Kinesis aluminum fork and I am thinking of swapping in a steel fork instead.

Ideally I'd like to find a Ritchey but they are rarer then hensteeth by the looks of it here on the west coast of Canada.

Thoughts & recommendations for something to look for?

Thanks in advance folks.

Did you consider a period carbon fork? Time perhaps?
It would be a lot lighter, look about right and be a softer ride.

You'd probably want a unicrown fork for a visual match, most of which are strong but heavy in steel.

Forks are often rarer than frames, so the owners don't want to sell them much.

Good luck
