It depends how old it is. I have an old (c.1970) Italian race frame with Campy 1010 dropouts (single eyelet). And Cinellis used to ship with fenders in the early 60s, although most people didn't install them.



Those would fetch a pretty pile of cash on eBay today.


You can get threaded or threadless 1" carbon forks that will fit a bike like you're talking about.
Yes, they're available, but why bother? What's wrong with the steel fork that presumably came with the frame?
