My dad has the twin to this hanging in his basement. But, Dad's is spanking new and missing a fork. And like the one in the auction it's way to big for anyone in the family to ride.

So....................

Does anybody know where to find a fork for one of these?

Does anybody have something KOF-ish in a 55cm to 56cm they'd be willing to trade? He needs to replace his current road frame and that would be the size he'd need. If I recall Dale added a rule about cash values on trades, I'm not sure I could persuade my dad to sell outright anyway but to meet requirements we can say $950 as thats what the nice but well used one brought on eBay.

Thanks, I've always wanted to see this bike together and under someone that could ride it.
