Steel disc fork wanted

Does anyone know where I can get a steel 700c disc fork with a 1" steerer?
Every one I've found so far has a 1 1/8" steerer and I don't think (I really must check) it will fit on my 30 year old Raleigh Record Ace.
I don't want carbon. It melts in the rain, don't you know!

I would doubt it - most makers switched to 1.125" forks about 12 years ago before disc brakes became commonplace. Only solution might be to get someone to make you a pair or to get a bigger diameter headtube brazed to your frame- I wouldn't recommend getting tabs brazed to a old road fork as the fork blades aren't designed to take the stresses. It'll still cost you a couple of hundred either way - the same price as a Planet-X Kaffenback frame and forksMake mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0
