Miyata Team Titanium Aluminum Fork
I have an aluminum fork from my 1993 Miyata Team Titanium frame. Will probably use a carbon fork and threadless system for the build so I'm wondering if this is worth anything.
APA bonded
Chrome-Moly Steer, Aluminum Blades, Forged Aluminum Ends
Shimano 105 headset included
Good condition, some scratches from use

Keep it for the future when you might decide to return the bike to its original build spec. Once gone, fork is gone forever.

I agree keep it for when you don't like the carbon/threadless setup.

Keep it for if/when you decide to sell the bike. I had a really hard time selling an older steel bike setup carbon fork/threadless. Everyone wanted to know what happened to the original fork.

+1 More this. Plus its a Team Miyata, and there will be a time where someone is going to want to restore it. Missing the original fork would crush its value at that point.
