1" fork replacment
 

I have a 1980's schwinn sprint i ride as my daily fixed gear and i recently managed to bend my fork in an incident that wasent my fault but that is another story . I am looking for an inexpensive replacement fork , i am running 27" tires on my bike and i would like to keep the 27's

Thank you

Somafab has some nice ones on their website. Anything any good is going to set you back between a hundred and a buck-fiddy, though.

Sadly that is almost what i have invested into the bike, i have considere the nashbar carbon fork as it seems to have fairly good reviews from what i have seen , or maybe looking around here for a vintage 1" fork that would fit my bike.

Tons of forks on ebay. You can get a nos chrome 27" fork for less than $30.

The cheapest ones i can find are like 40 bucks and there either new or beat up older ones.

How long do you need the steerer to be? I'm assuming threaded headset?

How long is the steer tube on your Sprint?

Cheers,
Chris

It is threaded, the old fork measured in with about a 180mm steerer

Origin 8 has some that were $50 in the LBS, basic lugged fork

Appreciate the link , i think this fork should fit the bill since its a pretty cheap bike i beat up in the city, unless anyone has any advice against this fork. all the money is in the drive train anyway
