Wanted Salsa 26” forks with v bosses, or something lugged 1 1/8th threadless

[theevilshred]

I’m looking for a set of nice rigid forks for a new build I’ve got going, regretting ever getting rid of the 26” salsa's I used to know.

Something with v bosses, either straight blade and hare-like ‘ala’ salsa of lugged and tortoisey similar to a surly trucker or bi plane. Condition is no concern as they are going to be built in to a basket bike, cargo ferrying sorta thing.

Threadless steerer 1 1/8th please.

let me know if you have anything.

Thank you kindly

I've just picked a pair of these up still attached to a Cannondale. Steerer is about 8 feet long, canti and disc mounts on them and in black

Theyre cropped off the advert i bought the frame from, theres an FSA headset and the stem is going begging too

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I’m a big fan of those mid late 90’s cannondale too, is it an f series? questionable Choice of forks for that, for sure. Although I keep an eye out for the p bones and recently saw some horrible condition ones go for a bomb on flea bay.

How much are you looking at for them?

I ended up settling on some slightly wonky surly forks for the build I was on, but might be interested for a future thing, although I had promised myself no more for a while. Ha!

Cheers

Yeah I *think* its an F700 but the paint is bubbled and lifted everywhere so i wont see the frame number until Ive stripped it.
I've no idea what theyre worth tbh and I wont be using them. Shoot me an offer and i can get them in the post for you

 

[theevilshred]

Yeh I’ve had that with an m700, shame though because the paint was really nice on that era. Are you going to do a build thread?

Theres not much to go off that I can see, but if you’d post them for £55? I could take them now, or a touch more if the post is looking horrendous.


cheers

Seeing as I got them with the frame, make it £50 posted then. Do you want the headsaet and set with it?

I dropped them out of the frame last nice and theres a good smear of white grease on the steerer and no rushthat I can see

 

[theevilshred]

Great, sounds good to me! Yeh I’ll take it, if you have no designs for it.

whats your email? And I’ll PayPal you some funds.

cheers
