1" Road Fork Needed

lackofgrip

as in title help please

I need a 1" threadless fork for a Fausto Coppi San Remo or can I use threaded?

I can't seem to find one anywhere

Can anyone help?

Depends on whether you want steel or carbon. Threaded carbon forks are a bit of a rarity IME as most folks switched to threadless at the time. For old steel forks, try Retrobike forum.

Also try some of your UK frame builders. Bob Jackson in Leeds may sell new steel forks or could probably make one to your specs with matching paint.

Well you could try this guy. If he doesn't have something to suit I'd be surprised.

Try a wanted ad on this site or the CTC forum - I picked up a used set, similar to the Tifosi, for £20 for the wife's bike.

He does, I approached him back in April... and he only charges £ 180 for a fork.... :shock:
