Can anyone tell me if there is a fork on ebay that fits....

[carnell]

I am building up a 1990 Marin Team Titanium, 17.5inch, but have been finding it nigh on impossible to find a fork that will fit off of Ebay - can anyone point to a rigid fork out there? I really need a solution and didn't think it would be such a challenge...

1" or 1 ⅛" steerer, threaded or un-threaded, what is the head tube length, any preference on colour? We need more details!

Sorry - a 1" steerer, I'm quite sure that I would need a 150mm head tube length and preferably in black - so it looks like the photographed tt in the 1991 catalogue

This should do you, it's not black though

Thank you - but is this not, being a 700cc, suited to a wheel bigger than 26inches?

I have a crazy light steelnickel-plated one in 1” but it looks like only 150ish steerer so not enough if that’s your head tube length? . I’ll measure the steerer if you’re interested.

These are on this old Marin I have with a 150 headtube. Would they work?

It’s 148 from where the platform on which the crown race sits to the top. Comparing that to a 17.5” Marin I have here, that could be ideal. Weight appears to be 739g!

What about something like switchblades or early pace if your struggling to find the right fork? Bit different.

@carnell I assume your 17.5" has a 130 headtube? Not so up on titanium models. If so with your stack your going to need around 165mm steerer. (35mm stack height HS).
