I'm starting to think the replacement just wasn't meant to be. I won another acution for a NOS Tange chrome fork, same description-1", threaded, two sets of eyelets on the dropouts, 700c, from a different seller. Fork arrived today and, you guessed it, the brake bosses are designed for a 26" wheel. I think it's time to sent out a memo to the entire bicycling community. Or maybe I should just join in on the party and sell this fork on ebay, advertising it as a fork for 700c wheels. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
