Best Threaded Fork?
 
Who makes the best threaded fork for a road bike?

The guy who made the frame.

Exactly

What is the context of the question?

What frame are you trying to get a fork for? What is your budget? What material do you want? Steel? Carbon? Do you want a crown or unicrown?

Whatever you decide to do, you'll need to know the fork specs to get the right match for the frame.

The best frame for what purpose?

Ugo DeRosa, Yoshi Konno, Richard Sachs, Bob Jackson.

Just kidding, I wikipedia'd everybody in that list.

@avhed: there you go: Ugo, Yoshi, Dick and Bob. :)


More seriously: I would suggest you post a picture of the bike in question. I'm sure that will lead to some more practical suggestions.

The guys are giving you appropriately vague answers for your vague question.

I'll assume that you want a 1" threaded steel fork, because that's what most threaded forks are. Also because if you want 1" threaded carbon, you're SOL.

Soma sells nice, chrome Tange 1" threaded forks in a couple different styles. Any bike shop that has a QBP account (most) can order you Soma bits.

Faliero, Ugo, Yoshi, Dick and Bob.

FIFY.

I know there no threading on a carbon steering tube.
Crown or unicrown would be fine. Carbon blades or I would just leave it.
Its to replace a Columbus SL fork, 47mm reach for brake, and 1.75 inch rake.

Off the shelf you want something stamped 'Tange' on his steerer tube. Also look for a 'Tange' decal on the legs. Typically you'll find Tange dropouts but Shimanos are just as good.

If your looking for carbon Easton is a safe buy but the threaded ones are getting very difficult to find.
