Wtd: 1" Reynolds 531 Steel fork

Plastik · 04-07-2015 5:09pm #1

Looking for a 1" Reynolds 531 steel fork for a restoration project that I'm doing. Aesthetic condition is unimportant as I'll be stripping and repainting. It just needs to be straight - unlike the one that I have.

It's a Carlton frame some something from a Raleigh or Carlton would probably be perfect. Does anyone have anything taking up room in their garage that they're willing to part with?

Anyone?

I have a 653 fork which I think could be from a Peugeot, not sure of size but it may be off a 57cm frame.

When you say straight do you mean not raked or not damaged?

Think I paid 20 for it.

Hey, yes when I say straight I mean not damaged. Could you measure the length of the steerer, I need 205mm plus. Thanks!

I will do tonight and let you know.

The length of steerer is approx. 19 cms.

The last approx. 2.5 cms is threaded.

I'm looking for a steel 1" threaded fork 15 cms long steerer.

Still looking for one of these if anyone spots anything. I've tried a few places locally and unsurprisingly no-one wants to touch the original fork.

I might actually have one. I'll confirm within the hour

Harrybelafonte · 14-08-2015 9:57pm

Yeah. I didn't manage to do that due to work and am now 180km away. I'll be back Sunday and will check. Pretty sure it's a chrome Reynolds fork. Sorry about this.

No prob HB.

Sorry Plastik, I got it confused with another fork I already sold, this one is Columbus Thron.

Cheers HB, if the steerer measures 205mm plus take a pic and post it anyway. I could still be interested if the style is right as I'm not having much luck anywhere else.
