Looking for a 1" straight fork
 
I'm looking for a 1" straight for for my track bike.
220mm length at least.
Preferably in chrome (silver) finish.
And available in (or shipped to) Europe.
All for about $US 150
Like this one: http://www.origin-8.com/product_deta...rack&cl1=FORKS

Any ideas?

I dont know any silver/chrome ones, but I do know Affinity makes lugged straight 1" fork.

thanks squeegeesunny, they only color they have is matte black but it could be an option. At $28 the shipping is reasonable.
I also found the Soma but they don't ship outside US. Anyone know of a shop that does (or is in Europe?)

Give http://www.mosquito-bikes.co.uk/ a call. I think they stock Soma stuff.

If you can't find a place, I can order a Soma fork at the shop where I work and ship it to you. PM me if interested.

I bought one of these 6 years ago and still love it.

Thanks for all your answers, the results so far:
- Soma seems to have the best match.
- Mosquito Bikes in the UK cannot help me, they no longer sell Soma and do not have an alternative.
- the one one eBay looks good, but no reference and rather expensive...
- The bikecult.com website is down?
