The bare head tube is 145mm, so what would you recommend in steer tube and thread length ?
I might need to grab a couple extra tires at that price! Thanks for the tip.

1X vintage steel? You could do worse

Steerer tube requirements:
1. Must be 27mm min/45mm max longer than bare headtube measured from fork crown
2. Threads on steerer tube must end no more than 16mm above the edge of the bare headtube (using fork crown as reference)

So with a 145mm head tube you'll be looking for a steerer tube at least 172mm long up to 190mm. For the 172mm steerer tube, it will need at least 11mm of thread. The 190mm steerer tube will need >29mm, or be increased to that with a die.
