Bog standard 1” threaded fork, steel long steerer

[narcotitlan]

Looking for an 80s fork in steel flavour 1” threaded 175-185mm steerer +/- a few mm.

Nice old school curved legs, not too beefy because this is for a very old school bike, mudguard eyelet’s.

Finding it surprisingly hard to find anything at all!

Doesn’t have to be particularly amazing, but something like Tange or Reynolds 501/531 would be extra specially nice

Thanks very much in advance!

If you could live with straight leg forks then I've a nice pair of 80's Spinner ones. Steerer 18.5cm. Any good?

Hi Sigmund,

They sound great, but not quite right for this build, - mid 80s. Cheers for the cranks by the way!

Re:

Oh, didn't notice your username and let on to you. And you probably realise I also haven't paid too much attention re the details of my forks! But now that I see I should be a little less casual, I have a set of late 80's Raleigh Ozark (frame) forks you might like? They're not the straight leg type BTW, and look to have non chunky legs, to my eyes.

They sound like they’d fit the bill! Let’s talk via PM

Got these from an 88 Marin BUT only 165mm steerer :?

Re:

Thanks mate, steerer too short unfortunately, but top forks!

Re:

Re:

Think I'v got some forks off a Raleigh Ravine, not sure of diameter or steerer length but if they're of interest I'll measure when I get home from work.
