without the ridiculous shipping even though they dont state ireland on their list so cant get them from there.
any ideas ( republic of ireland is my location) just want new forks and not junk the frame

scrublover thanks for that less than useful suggestion why do you bother, unemployed are we, nothing better to do what BTW i'm having a sense of humour failure as you can probably tell.

I thought so, too. Drinking ale, playing fiddle tunes, wearing wool sweaters and tweed jackets.

some cannondale dealers will have them, we sell reducers and converter headsets where i work b/c we sell cannondales and they have the huge headtube for the lefty (and cause thats just how cannondale rolls) so we stock them in the shop especially since some cannondales come with reducer headsets and we have to have support parts.
We order the parts from QBP so I imagine any bikeshop in the country could order them, I think some shops just don't know they exist if they don't carry bikes with non-standard headtubes. We had a customer come from a shop b/c they said it couldn't be done.

I have to second bikinfool's recommend on BETD - - especially since their practically in your back yard. Rob is a skookum machinist and a great guy to deal with. Hope it works out for you.
