Looking for a fork, PLEASE HELP

Hey, just purchased a 61cm 1996 Cinelli Super Corsa road frame, though it is without the fork.
What I need is a 1" Threaded or Threadless fork with a long steertube.
It needs to be at least a 230mm steer or longer. Will be used with a Campy Record HS.
Perferably looking for something chrome and as similar as possible to the original fork.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Yellowjersy.org has some straight blade chrome forks for 99 bucks.

Have you contacted Cinelli? I think they still make that frame, so they would probably be able to supply the fork you need.

+1 on carbon fork. Nashbar carries a 1" carbon fork for under $150.

Your best bet for an all-chrome, steel, lugged 700C fork is from Soma. You're lucky - their largest size is 230mm. More importantly, the threads are only 50mm long, not 100, so you won't end up wrecking the fork the minute you put a stem into it.

They're expensive ($149 for chrome finish), but most suitable for a Cinelli SC.

On my '83 Guerciotti:


Workmanship on these forks is excellent, considering they're generic replacements.

P.S.: Don't mind the carbon folk - I dare say they didn't bother to read your entire post.
