Huh...Did you actually read the post?

Be my guest. Find me simple steel curved blade track fork with...
-200mm threaded steerer tube
-a low track rake (30-35)
-lugged crown
-and most importantly, tight clearances with a 21-23mm tire like any typical Italian or NJS steel track bike.

I don't even care if it's neon green since the bike is being powder coated anyway.


That's it. You would assume this would be so simple since almost every used Italian or Japanese track bike has this exact fork....but it's next to impossible. I've even tried custom frame shops and most refuse to sell forks unless buying a frameset.

Closest thing I've found...

Waterford....and they want $425
Track Fork Crown

Ebay? It's nothing but so called "track forks" with room to fit 32mm+ tires.

When you do finally find one labeled "This is a true track fork with only a few mm between the crown and a track tire,"
it's $300+
Example..
Track Fork Columbus Campagnolo Cinelli Crown Vintage Pista Bike 202mm Thread | eBay


A fork like any of these...
