I use this exact fork on my Gitane TdF after wrecking the original steel fork. Rides well and saves perhaps a couple of hundred grams too. The Kinesis alu road forks were popular just before carbon forks became the weapon of choice. I like mine so much I bought a couple of spares in case I want to upgrade other steel bikes in the future. Mind you, I think I only paid about $30 each for mine -new obviously. I would never ride a used alu road fork.

If you find these forks with long enough steerers, then you can cut the top threaded portion off, and use them in the superior threadless configuration. You'll need the top headset parts to match.
