Need SuperStrada front fork
ned source for a front fork. I, several yrs ago, drove into my garage with bike on my roof rack!!!
Bike is about 30 yrs old I think. Do you have a good source to pass on?
Thanks

I assume Univega. If you want to keep it at least period correct, if not original, you need to know the steerer tube length and keep an eye on ebay. If you don't care about that and just want to ride, Nashbar has a carbon replacement fork that is actually pretty nice and can be had for about $50 in the threaded version.

Just get a Tange fork. Or get a used one. They are all pretty similar.

Bikes: 1976 Schwinn Super Le Tour, tricked out with modern components. Shimano Alfine 11 internal gear hub. Dynamo hub. Titanium racks and bottle cages. Mercier Kilo Wide Tire dropbar singlespeed
Soma sells some excellent girls
I put a Soma "Classic Curve" model fork on a 38 year old Panasonic. Looks vintage beautiful, rides great. All chrome. Good price.

Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.
+1 on "get one on eBay." Or from Soma. Or from your local Co-op. But make sure you get one with the right steer tube length, so you don't have to go to the extra hassle of cutting ad re-threading the end. A little too long is OK, you can make that up in spacers. A little to short, obviously, won't work at all.
