I have a Gazelle tour populair, the step through model, 57cm frame. I had a crash last week and the forks are not repairable.
I can't find a frame number on the frame so when I call up anywhere asking for replacement forks they say they can't really help.
The other complication seems to be that the bike has rod actuated drum brakes. On the front fork this requires a hole above the left fork to bolt the linkage onto. Every fork I've seen online only has a central hole.
Does anyone know where I might get replacement forks?
Or can I buy forks and drill the hole on the left where I need it? Bit worried this might weaken them... Let me know what you think.
Or does anyone else with a 57cm tour populair step through want to share there frame number with me? Forks seem pretty standard size, ie suit bars of 22.2mm and a steererttube is 1 inch diameter. Steerer tube length is 262mm and wheels are 28 x 1 1/2
Any help much appreciated.
