It is of the old fashioned type with a proper lugged crown and legs that curve forwards towards the axle, giving a rake of approx 45mm. 1" threaded steerer tube, mudguard bosses and fork crown brake mount required. Standard threading and crown-race sizes. Does anyone know where I can order one? There's very little online, even ebay. I have the dimensions measured for the steerer tube (min 180mm total steerer height, threads must start no more than 150mmish from the crown race. And yes I've been round and measured every old fork the Bike Station had to offer and nothing is suitable.
