My friend Alex forwarded me a request for a friend of his, for a replacement fork. This seems like a good place to ask. The request:
| > hello -- I have a friend looking for steel forks, the | "old-fashioned" kind: | > 1" threaded steerer tube (pref uncut; he's a tall fella), for | use with quill | > stem. any leads would be appreciated -- grazie mille -- alex.
> re: forks... > these are meant to replace forks from a circa 1988 Battaglin road frame. > color pref--red or black, chrome OK too. rake--standard (43/44mm??) > eyelets--yes, but not critical.
That's all I've got. I don't think they care about crown style or tubing material, although it's for a rider so probably something with decent tubing and construction, and I'm assuming Italian thread.
If you've got a suitable fork please email me privately and I'll pass it on.
