[CR] seeking fork blades

Tom,

I don't think the 28X19 "Continental Oval" are the old style fork blades -- those are widely available from any current provider of bicycle tubing.

The 29X16 "Imperial Oval" are much harder to find; but they are still available here and there. Try CR sponsor/advertiser Bicycle Classics at http://www.bicycleclassics.com/ for Reynolds 531 blades in that dimension.

Best,

Greetings, I've rejoined the list in my search for old style fork blades. To fit a 28x19mm standard "continental oval" crown and wih a short taper section... the classic style that allows for a long small-diameter section at the raked end of the blades. I want them to be still straight, new or used...
