Fork Idea

I have been fiddling with old frames now for a few years, and I am always happy when I see old steel rolling down the road. But I also see lots of frames homeless from lack of a fork.

Having spent a good share of bucks on Velo Orange stuff, they seem to have done retro quite well...

I have thought that what would be nice to have imported is a one inch size front fork, with braze ons for panniers and one version in cantilevers and one in caliper. If it were chromed, and the steerer was made extra long, it could be cut and threaded locally for the frame in question. And paint or powder coated as desired.

Any thoughts on getting a 'generic' fork imported?
