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

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.
