I really want a nice set of track forks, but I don't have the money for them right now. . . eventually everthing will come together though, all I think I need is a new headset, bottom bracket, seatpost and fork and then maybe a new set of wheels then I'm really done with this bike and I can move on to the next project.
so who's got a pic of their ride with that $57 bike works fork? whats the rake on it anyway? im looking to tighten up the lax geometry of my centurion accordo frame. not much can be done for the rear but theres room to work on the front. looking to tighten the manuverabilty and also hope to drop standover height in the front slightly (probably only a quarter of an inch, but it'll help) by switching the stock fork with a 700c road fork with less rake.
