Old Raleigh Competition Fork Replacement
 

I bought an old Raleigh Competition frame a while back and took it to Bicycle Habitat NYC to get the BB & Headset replaced. Long story short, they stripped the threads on my fork and then tried (unsuccessfully, I found out a few months later) to re-thread it. Never going there again, obviously, but I'm going to need a new fork. Seems like there's no shortage of nice lugged chrome forks, but I can't seem to find one with fender eyelets. Any leads?

here's a crappy picture showing the type of competition. i believe it's from the 70's

You miht want to look at this flat crown chromed fork.

Wow. Thank you. That is exactly what I'm looking for.

Want to sell me the old fork? I've got the same frame in a smaller size. Maybe I can cut the steer tube down past the bad threads.

PM me

I say, get the fork repaired. Get a new steering tube brazed on. Those sloping crown forks are GREAT!!!!!

While you're at it, they can braze some eyelets on, too.

The Competition forks have a beautiful curve to them. That eBay fork has a dogleg.

sweeeeeeet. i found a frame-builder that's willing to braze on a new steering tube, so i can just use the ebay one as a stopgap. thanks for the suggestions.
