I need a bent fork. I'm possibly going to have to do a steerer transplant for my cracked Gitane TdF fork, and I am just not comfortable sacraficing a perfectly good fork. I really need to find a bent french fork so I can just take the steerer off of it.

Here are the pics of the fork I picked up at the co-op. It's french threaded, and has campy dropouts. Can anyone identify this fork? It just might get saved if it's unique..

Hardly.

A seventies Peugeot fork would look like either of these and it would not have Campy ends. Note the seam on the non-Reynolds fork. Only the PX10 didn't have it. The black crown is similar, but not the same.

It's definitely french... My french headset nut that came off the Gitane fits on it...
