I'm also looking for a 1" threaded steel road fork for a 1984-ish steel frame.

The old one was bent is a crash (ouch) a couple years ago. I'm finally getting around to rebuilding it as a fixie.

Neither the bike, nor the fork have as coloful a history as Mark's though! :-)

Thanks,
Sarah

Friends,

My rain bike fork is getting to the end of it's life.

My fork came off a nice older bridgestone.

So anyone have a nicer-old steel or even a carbon fork to sell/trade?

1 inch, threaded or not?

I figure I deserve a new headset if I can wear a fork out right?

thanks

Mark Ginsberg.

that's the end of the post unless you want to hear the story of the Bridgestone RB-1 that the fork came off of.

Still here?

Okay.

Hank "the hardman" Hariman left Spoke N' Wheel to work at Merlin metal works. The deal was that after 6 months as an employee you got your first Merlin. So Hank sold me his RB-1. I raced it for a few years, then it sat around. I got some cool carbon fork for it so I took the fork and put in on a Ti-Kona road bike.

are you still here?

The Ti Kona Road bike was built by Sandvik, they only made them for one year.
Catherine Ciarlo the former BTA executive director now has the bike, but I kept the fork on the ti-kona which is now my rain bike.

please stop reading now.

Thank you
