Orange Clockwork forks/headset info required

Well, it would need a fork for non-suspension corrected geometry. I would have said less than 40cm (roughly)...but I will try and get a tape measure out on my p7 later

Tape measure found !

I make the axle to crown length on my 1995 p7 roughly 39cm (literally just measuring between the two points in a straight-line).
Assuming a 71 degree head-angle that gives a vertical height (i.e perpendicular to the ground) of about 36.5cm.

Will also see if I can get to an earlier clockwork fork sometime, for comparison.

It'll be the same length. This is the original length, before the started making forks longer for suspension corrected frames.
Replacement suspension forks at the time where 405mm +- 5mm (ish )

Thanks, you guys are great. Just got to find some forks now....

I imagine orange f7 forks or kona project twos would both be suitable... But just about any 1 inch threaded fork from 1995 or earlier would be ok.

Is this sort of thing bad economy? fits the bill dimensions wise

It quite a heavy fork that, realm of the early suspension fork weights.

Just put a wanted advert up with what you need, then see what you get.

Wow that's heavy ! Probably build for dirt jumping not x-country. I think you should be aiming for a fork that is less than a kilo.
