Looking for a fork for my Austro Daimler
A while back I posted about my AD Inter 10 falling off the roof of my car. I bent it back into shape, but the fork has never been quite the same. Recently I have noticed it has a bit more give in one blade than the other. In other words, its time to replace it before it goes while I'm riding.
Here's the problem. I'm having trouble finding a 1" threaded lugged fork, used or new, that has a steerer 195mm or longer, and is appropriate for the bicycle (ie. not crap).
This is really bugging me. Whats bugging me even more is that I can't seem to find a NEW fork that meets my criteria!!! I'm looking at distributor catalogs, searching online stores, and am just on the lookout in general.
The selection of 1" threadless is pretty good, and the selection of 1-1/8" threadless is the best (obviously).
I may go crazy and go threadless. This would mean new headset and new stem. It might be nice.....
Ideas?
