Replacement fork
 
I'm new to fixed gear, so I got a MKTT to ride. A couple of days ago I was riding and got into a pretty bad accident, messed up my fork pretty bad. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a decent replacement fork. I'm eventually going to see if I can salvage the one I wrecked. I'll post some photos of my bike later.

If your crash was enough to destroy your fork, there's a chance that the frame is compromised as well. I think you should have your LBS check the frame before you bother replacing the fork.

I did think that my frame might be compromised after such an incident, although it doesn't really look like it. I haven't gotten a chance to go to my LBS yet, but I definitely plan on it this weekend. In the meantime, here's one photo. ( the fork is backwards, more to come soon)

Check your headtube, headset for play, your downtube and top tube. See if any paint is flaking. I would suspect that you may have damaged something else.
