WTD: Carbon Road Forks Black

Paul Kiernan

For this bike which I'm convinced isn't selling because the forks are red!

To buy or will swap for Vitus F600 forks on the bike. They've 250mm steerer and I need about the same.

Need to be assured they haven't been crashed so not a pair you picked up on Ebay!

It doesn't really matter, any decent road bike forks will do as long as they're black. AFAIK the Dolan ones are badged as Alpina so if they say Dolan or Alpina all the better.

Have the fork off this bike:

Thanks for the offer but I need something a bit more nondescript, say a plain black fork with no or little writing on it, that doesn't look like it was added later to replace an original fork.

Brand X plain black would be about 90euro brand new. That or paint the one you have.

Hey,
I've got a black fork from a Trek 1200 SL 2006 (the grey/black model)
I peeled the stickers off so it's completely black now
I'll post pics tomorrow if interested
Cheers, Nick

Yes sir,
Firstly, the steerer is 1 1/8 inch straight. Steerer tube length is 225mm.
Here’s some pics (note the wear on underside)
Cheers

Thanks for the pictures. They're a bit worn looking! I don't think I can justify taking off a pristine set of forks to change to those. I know I'm being fussy but I'm looking for something that doesn't clash with the frame but that also looks fairly new and clean!

No worries chief!
