Just found a fork on eBay that would be perfect in every way (French threads, chrome, 20cm HT), but $370 is way beyond what I think this project should endure.

But I am curious how they managed a Tange fork to fit a French bike. I guess the Frenchness is all in the cups, but I would think the threads on a Tange fork would have been ISO and so would the threaded cap. On the other hand, I am glad it takes a standard 22.2 stem.
