1" threaded lugged forks aren't really made much anymore, but Sunlite still makes a cheap one.
[MENTION=124730]SJX426[/MENTION] That nasty fracture makes me nervous. I planned on straightening a bent steerer tube on a prewar Schwinn... now i'm having seconds thoughts.
Cool to see an x-ray on film... it's all digital now.
The challenge is always being able to get it straight, once bent. Preference is to replace the steerer.
It was a nasty fracture as a nerve bundle prevented the ends to meet so after 6 weeks, the doc had to go in and fix it.
