Raleigh Superbe fork size vs frame size
Trying to figure out if all 1973 Superbe forks are the same size or if the fork size changes depending on the frame size.
Anybody able to help?
Thanks.

As noted, steerer tube length varies by frame size, so it will be easiest if you find one from the same size frame.
If you have a fork from a larger frame, in theory you can extend the threading for the headset locknuts, With Raleigh threading, I'd recommend just finding a fork for your frame size.

If your LBS has been around for a few decades, they might have one moldering away in a tool drawer.
