Not sure whether to post this here or over in commuting, but you folks may have more relevant technical know-how. I've got an old Miyata 712 that I've adapted as a commuter - rack, platforms, kickstand, fenders, etc. I love the bike, but the only problem is the familiar one of the front forks being too narrow to accomodate anything wider than a 23c (with fenders). I wouldn't mind something slightly wider and I have an old pair of WoundUp carbon forks that might serve. How hard is it to swap out forks on these old fellas? Will the WoundUps, which are straight, mess up the steering on a frame designed for a certain amount of rake? Would I be better advised to look for a similarly vintaged pair of chro-mo forks? Or should I just forget the whole thing and keep riding the 23s? Thanks in advance,

Bob
