Fork Choices?
I have a Schwinn LeTour II Mixte frame that is being prepped to become my next commuter.
Currently it is configured with a 700c fork from a Centurion and 650A/26 x 1 3/8 wheelset I had built for another project.
The Weinmann centerpulls just reach the proper pad location with this fork, but there are no eyelets to mount fenders or the low-rider pannier rack.
I'm looking at the idea of replacing the fork rather than trying to install eyelets.
Should I go with another 700c fork, a 26 x 1 3/8 fork, or are there other options I should consider, and why?
Would like to stay with the centerpull brake, but will consider other ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Gary

consider rake, fork blade length desired brake choice, no answers just questions.. for you to consider..
Guess it was a 27" wheel frame , you can change the steering if the fork varies much from the one they supplied...
